Daddy, You Been On My Mind - Joan Baez

Perhaps it’s the colour of the sun cut flat

And covering the crossroads I’m standing at

Or maybe it’s the weather or something like that

But Daddy, you’re on my mind

I don’t mean 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 passed the floor, lie down and bent but yet

Daddy you’re on my mind

You know my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow

Where you been don’t bother me or bring me down in sorrow

I don’t even mind who you’re waking with tomorrow

But Daddy, you’re on my mind

I am not asking you to say words like «yes» or «no»

Please understand me, I have a place I’m calling you to go

I just lose breath to myself so I pretend that I don’t know

That Daddy, you’re on my mind

When you wake up in the morning 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 could see yourself as clear

As someone who has had you on her mind
