The Pearlfishers - With You On My Mind
текст песни

let me sit you down, darlin’, I’ve something to say / I’d like to get it said before I go grey / I’ll try to keep it simple, I’ve no axe to grind / just a lifetime in a day with you on my mind / a day was a week was a month was a year / I didn’t have a pension or a reg’lar career / I was slow as molasses and sleep-walkin’ time / till I woke up and found I had you on my mind / I had you on my mind… / couldn’t hold a conversation or shoot the breeze / I could bore the blossoms out of the trees / found I was driftin’ when people called by / I couldn’t concentrate or be bothered to try / couldn’t get excited, and I couldn’t unwind / I was deep in a daze with you on my mind / the days started hurting the more I was gone / I had to do something to move it along / so I told you my problem, that I liked you just fine / and I’m acting like a chump with you on my mind / you said you couldn’t conscience me taking the blame / that coincidentally you felt much the same / and so we set off on a hard scary wind / a lifetime in a day with you on my mind / I’ve got you on my mind… / no love-struck goon, no matter how he tries / could ever pull a reason out of the skies / and now it’s getting better, there’s hope in the bank / you’re dancing round the kitchen to ella and frank / so I’m gonna quit smokin’ and drinkin’ wine / and thank my sweet jesus that you’re on my mind
