letra de on your mind - john thomason

when you’re sittin on the porch and you watch the sun bow
steppin back across the city blocks do you ask yourself how
how you came to be where you are now
and all that did happen on down the line?

high school lovers under broken covers
the thrill of one last dance
the ship you sailed on, flying its colors
and the fading waves of romance

no i don’t expect ya to recall all of that
in some far flung village or wherever you’re at
all i wonder is if your thoughts of me are kind
if i’m ever on your mind

now i only allow the rare digression
i never let my mind wander at its own discretion
but for one brief second i let the leash lessen
and with the slack, it pulled me back through time

i’d play sad songs for you on my guitar
when our portrait hung on your wall
we’d exchange gifts under that yuletide star
and on my birthday you’d come to call

the seas now sit between those visits
as do the years and the ever oppressive minutes
but i wonder if there’s just one second you find
where i am on your mind

did you think of me when you got out of bed?
did you wash the regret from your head?
did you falter on the job because your feelings robbed
you of your concentration?
how many weeks have you lived like this?
how many of our times have you truly missed?
in the depths of the night does my image by moonlight
ever make the slightest penetration?
into your dreams until your body is shaken
can this long abandoned love ever be awakened?

now i’m not askin ya to be possessed
or to throw yourself fully into distress
or to even remember the slightest caress
that did happen when we were combined

do you ever look at a stranger who’s p-ssing by
and hope that his face might turn out to be mine?
giving ya that look that caught your eye
when you were on your way to dine

i’m just sitting at the table where we’ve supped
and i’m thanking god that i ain’t all hung up
i just happened to knock over my cup of wine
and wondered if i was on your mind
