Mama, You Been on My Mind Songtext
von Joan Baez

Perhaps it′s the color of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Maybe it′s the weather or something like that
But daddy mama, you been on my mind

I don't mean to trouble please don't put me down or get upset
I am not pleading, or saying I can′t forget you
I do not walk the floor
Bowed down and bent, but yet
Daddy Mama, you been on my mind


Even though my eyes are hazy
And my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don′t bother me
Or bring me down to sorrow
It don't even matter where you′re waking up tomorrow
But daddy mama, you just on my mind

I don't mean to trouble please don′t put me down or get upset
I, I, your turn
I don't remember

I′m not asking you to say words like yes or no
Please, understand me
I'm not calling for you to go
I'm just breathing to myself pretending not that I don′t know
That daddy mama, you been on my mind

When you wake up in the morning, baby, look inside your mirror
You know I won′t be next to you
You know I won't be near
I′d just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on her his mind
