You've been on my mind

Spent the night
out in a hailstorm
looking like I's dead
I couldn't cry
I softly muttered
underneath my breath
a blessing and a curse

Lady
you've been on my mind (2x)

Gamble on
smile at the neighbours
like a mad raccoon
I was pampered
and then laid out flat
staring at the moon
don't want another nurse

refr.

like the hammer
and the old nail
loneliness and pain
riddle-mirror
crossword-stage and
isn't it a shame
I'm running like a dog

refr.

waiting for a
miracle
the 1,000 dollar plate
in the morning
in the evening
standing by the gate
I'm dying in the fog

refr.

can see the trees but I can't
see the forest
get a telescope
dream-lion and its
mighty roar
I shivered and awoke
I's lying in the dirt

refr.

Never knew what
loneliness meant
till you wrapped up my case
never knew what
grief was till you'd
kissed my eager face
a blessing and a curse


refr.
