Daddy, You've Been On My Mind                     
(Joan Baez)                                       
                                                  
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 something like that,    
But daddy, you've 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. I do not walk the floor bowed down  
and bent, but yet Daddy, you're just on my mind.  
                                                  
Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they  
might be narrow, Where you been don't bother me,  
nor bring me down in sorrow. It don't even        
matter to me where you're wakin' up tomorrow,     
Daddy, you're just on my mind.                    
                                                  
I am not asking you to say words like "yes" and   
"no." Please understand me, I got no place for    
you to go. I'm just breathing to myself           
pretending not that I don't know, Daddy, you      
been 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 can see yourself as        
clear, As someone who's had you on her mind.
