Perhaps it's the color of the sun caught flat and covering
The crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
But mama, you're on my mind
I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down
Don't get upset, I am not pleading
Saying I can't forget you
I do not pace the flow, bow down and bend
But yeah, mama, you've been on my mind
You know my eyes are hazy
My thoughts, they might be narrow where you've been
Don't bother me
Bring me down with sorrow
I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow
Mama, you're just 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 could pretend that I don't know
Mama, you've been on my mind
I've showed her
When you wake up in the morning
Baby, look inside your mirror
You know what I mean?



I won't be next to you
You know I won't
be near
I'd be curious
to know if you could
see yourself as clear
As someone
is at your own
is mine
