1243 – Rod Stewart – Mama you been on my mind (1972)



Escrita por Bob Dylan, foi gravada por ele inicialmente em junho de 1964 mas nunca foi lançada ate 1991. Foi escrita durante uma viagem de Bob pra Europa e fala sobre o rompimento do relacionamento dele com Suze Rotolo.


Foi regravada por Joan Baez, Jeff Buckley, Judy Collins, Ricky Nelson, Johnny Cash, George Harrison, Dion e Linda Ronstadt, entre outros artistas. Mas a nossa versão no entanto é a de Rod Stewart.


A versão de Rod Stewart foi gravada entre março e maio de 1972 e lançada no disco Never a dull moment, in 21 de julho de 1972.


A letra:


Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
And coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
But mama you been on my mind

I do not mean you trouble, don't put me down, don't get upset
I am not pleadin' or sayin' I can't forget you
I do not pace the floor, bowed down and bent, but yet
Mama you been on my mind

Even tho' my eyes are hazy
And my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don't bother me, or bring me down with sorrow
I don't even mind where you be wakin' up tomorrow
But mama you been on my mind

I'm not asking you to say words like yes or no
Please understand me, I've no place I'm calling you to go
I'm just whisperin' to myself so I can pretend that I don't know
Mama you 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, you know I won't be near
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind
As someone who has had you on his mind
Mama you been on my mind
