Joan Baez - Daddy, You Been on My Mind lyrics

Perhaps it's the colour of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather
Or something like that
But Daddy, you 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
"I can't forget you"
I do not walk the floor bowed down and bent
But yet, Daddy, you been on my mind

Even though my mind is hazy and
My thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don't bother me nor
Bring me down in sorrow
It don't even matter who
You're waking with tomorrow
Daddy, you're just on my mind
I am 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, you been on my mind

When you wake up in the morning, baby
Look inside your mirror
Oh 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 mind
As someone who has had you on her mind
