Mama, You've Been On My Mind Lyrics - Dreams Of The Way We Were: Live 1992 Radio Broadcast - Jeff Buckley

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 

But mama you've been on my mind 

I mean no 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 face the floor bowed down and bent but yet 

Well 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 in sorrow 

I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow 

But mama, you're just 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 alone 

I'm just whispering to myself so I can pretend that I don't know 

Mama you're just on my mind, well mama you're just on my mind
