Текст песни Mama, You've Been on My Mind - Live - Jeff Buckley

Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
An' coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
Ah, but mama, you 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 that I can't forget you
I do not pass the floor, bowed down and bent, but yet
Oh, mama, you been on my mind
Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been, don't bother me nor bring me down with sorrow
I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow
But mama, you've been on my mind
I'm not askin' you to say words like "yes" or "no"
Please understand me, I have no place I'm callin' you to go
I'm just whispering to myself so I can pretend that I don't know
Oh, mama, you've been on my mind
When you wake up in the mornin', baby, look inside your mirror
You know I won't be next to you, no, I won't be near
I'd just be curious to know if you could see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind
