Mott The Hoople - When My Mind's Gone lyrics

(Ian Hunter)

When my mind's gone

All I do is sit and think

And the days go by

I don't remember anything

And yesterday becomes tomorrow

And I can see the day after tomorrow

I can even see next year

When my mind's gone

When my mind's gone

And the time goes fast

And the shadows fly away

If this feeling lasts

Then I won't have to find a thing to say

What once was clean is now unclean

What once was straight is now unstraight

What once was free is now unfree

What once was cold is now uncold

What once was me is now not me

When my mind's gone

When both my minds gone

When all of my mind's gone

When my mind's gone

So I'll take my secrets

I'll take them with me to my grave

And if I'm taking yours

Then I will try to make it safe

There ain't nothing going right

There ain't even nothing going wrong that's right

And day is day

And night ain't night

And night is day

And day is night

And spring is summer

And autumn's winter

When my mind's gone

When my mind's gone

When my mind's gone

Everything's gone

When my mind's gone

When my mind's gone

When my mind's gone

When my mind's gone
