Mama You Been On My Mind - BOB DYLAN cover by Molly Parden

http://mparden.virb.com

My favourite Bob Dylan song!! Hope I don't ruin it for Dylan newbies--

Perhaps it's the colour of the sun cut flat and cov'rin'
The crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
But mama you been on my mind

I don't mean trouble please don't put me down or get upset
I am not pleading or saying I can't forget you
I do not pace the floor, bow down and bent but yet
Mama you been on my mind

I'm not asking you to say words like yes or no
Please understand me, I have no place I'm calling you to go
I'm just whispering to myself so I can pretend that I don't know
That mama you just on my mind

Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you 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 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
