Mama, You Been on My Mind [Bob Dylan Cover] lyrics

Perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat

And coverin' crossroads I'm standin' at

Maybe it's the weather or somethin' like that

Mama, you've been on my mind

I do not mean you trouble, don't put me down, don't get upset

I am not pleadin' or sayin', "I can't forget you"

I do not pace the floor bowed down and bent, but yet

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 and bring me down

with sorrow

I don't even mind who'll you be wakin' up tomorrow

But mama, you've been on my mind

I'm not askin' you to say words like "yes" or "no"

Please understand me, I've no place I'm callin' you to go

I'm just whisperin' to myself, so I pretend that I don't know

Mama, you've 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 be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear

As someone who has had you on his mind

As someone who has had you on his mind

Hey mama, you've been on my mind
