(b. dylan)

Originally performed by bob dylan. jeff performed it live on air for the music fauceta wfmu radio broadcaston october 11 1992.

Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat

An' cov'rin' the crossroads I'm standing at

Or maybe it's the weather or something like that

But mamayou been on my mind.

I don't mean troubleplease don't put me down or get upset

I am not pleadin' or sayin'"i can't forget."

I do not walk the floor bowed down an'bentbut yet

Mamayou been on my mind.

Even though my mind is hazy an'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

But mamayou're just on my mind.

I am not askin' you to say words like "yes" or "no"

Please understand meI got no place for you t'go.

I'm just breathin' to myselfpretendin' not that I don't know

Mamayou been on my mind.

When you wake up in the mornin'babylook inside your mirror.

You know I won't be next to youyou 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 his mind.
