THE MORE YOU’RE ON MY MIND
These towns roll through my mind as the rain rolls through my shoes.
Each is another faceless name for which I have no use.
I like the thought of coming home to the love I left behind.
The farther I’m away from you, The More You’re On My Mind.
These folks don’t wanna know where you’ve been or where you’re bound.
They’re too tangled up themselves to help you off the ground.
There’s no chance for anyone who is not one of their kind.
The longer I’m away from you The More You’re On My Mind.
The More You’re On My Mind,
The more clearly that I see:
To loose the ties that bind
Would surely be a tragedy,
No reason and no rhyme.
This place where no one smiles sends a chill down through my bones.
The sun is freezing cold even without the wind that’s blown.
The things that I once turned my back to are still the best I’ll find.
The longer I’m away from you The More You’re On My Mind.
This heart is making clear what my mind can’t figure out.
The voice that once was just a whisper has turned into a shout.
The answers I’ve been praying for are beginning to unwind.
Tomorrow’s very clear to me The More You’re On My Mind.
And home is where I have to be The More You’re On My Mind.
