Jeff Buckley - Mama, You've Been On My Mind (originally by Bob Dylan) lyrics
[Jeff Buckley - Mama, You've Been On My Mind originally by Bob Dylan lyrics]
And coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather
Or something like that
Oh but mama you've been on my mind
I don't mean trouble please don't put
Me down don't get upset
I am not pleading or saying
That I can't forget you
I do not pace the floor bowed
Down and bent but yet
Oh mama you've been on my mind
Even though my eyes are hazy and
My thoughts they might be narrow
Where you've been don't bother me or
Bring me down with sorrow
I don't even mind who you'll
Be waking with tomorrow
But mama you've been on my mind
I am not askin' you to say
Words like yes or no
Please understand me I have no place
I'm callin' you to go
I'm just whispering to myself so I
Can pretend that I don't know
Oh mama you've been on my mind
When you wake up in the mornin'
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 his mind
