lyrics
[Verse]
Her hands were maps of a hundred days
Wrinkled roads
A time-stained maze
A laugh so soft
It could melt the sun
Nagy Mama
Where have you gone
[Chorus]
Oh Nagy Mama
Your stories stay
In the wind
In the clay
Oh Nagy Mama
Your songs still hum
In my heart
They softly drum
[Verse 2]
Apron strings tied like a bow on time
Her cookies
Her soup
Her lullaby rhyme
In her garden
Secrets grew so tall
Her whispers
They answered it all
[Prechorus]
The clock ticks slow
Yet the years run fast
But your love’s a shadow that’ll always last
[Chorus]
Oh Nagy Mama
Your stories stay
In the wind
In the clay
Oh Nagy Mama
Your songs still hum
In my heart
They softly drum
[Bridge]
The chimney smoke curls like her sigh
In the sky
She waves goodbye
But the smell of bread
The way she prayed
Forever in me
She’s replayed
