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've been 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 walk the floor
|
Bowed down and bent
|
But yet, daddy
|
You've been 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
|
Who you're waking
|
With tomorrow
|
Daddy
|
You're just on my mind
|
|
I am not asking you
|
To say words
|
Like "yes" or "no"
|
Please understand me
|
I 'm not calling
|
For you to go
|
I'm just breathing
|
To myself
|
Pretending not
|
That I don't know
|
That daddy
|
You've been on my mind
|
|
When you wake up
|
In the morning
|
Baby
|
Look inside your mirror
|
Oh, 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
|
As someone
|
Who has had you
|
On her mind
|
|
