Daddy You've Been on My Mind - Keren Ann

Perhaps it’s the color of the sun cut flat and coverin'

The crossroads I’m standin' at

Or maybe it’s the weather or somethin' like that

Daddy, you been on my mind

Don’t mean trouble please don’t put me down or get upset.

I am not pleading

Or saying I can’t forget

I do not pace the floors 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

don’t bother me

No put me down with sorrow

See, I don’t even mind who’ll you be waking with tomorrow

Daddy, you’ve been on my mind

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

Please, understand me

Got no place for you to go

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

Daddy, 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 her mind

Daddy, you been on my mind
