Joan Baez

(B. Dylan)
Perhaps its the colour of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads Im standing at,
Or maybe its the weather or something like that,
But Daddy, you been on my mind.
I dont mean trouble, please dont put me down, dont get upset,
I am not pleading or saying, "I cant 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 dont bother me nor bring me down in sorrow.
It dont even matter who youre waking with tomorrow,
Daddy, youre 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.
Im just breathing to myself, pretending not that I dont know,
That Daddy, you been on my mind.
When you wake up in the morning, baby, look inside your mirror.
Oh you know I wont be next to you, you know I wont be near.
Id 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
[ Daddy, You Been On My Mind Lyrics ]
