mama, you've been on my mind

Lyrics

perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat, 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
