Since You've Been On My Mind Lyrics

As if the years turned into tears

To fall like freezing rain

With waves of doubt eroding out

The beaches of my brain

The forests flooded over and

The ocean's up in flames

Tornadoes took the desert sands

And the cacti all complained

Since you've been on my mind

My thoughts have hopped out of the seats

To which they were assigned

And now they're out of reach

And they're out of line like an invasive vine

With my senses entwined

Since you've been on my mind

The sun and moon sing out a tune

Beyond the blistered skies

The atmosphere it must be clear

To hear them harmonize

Confusion clouds and foggy fears

Drape a veil before my eyes

Your image burns between my ears

Like a hundred hot Julys

Since you've been on my mind

My thoughts have hopped out of the seats

To which they were assigned

And now they're out of reach

And they're out of line like an invasive vine

With my senses entwined

Since you've been on my mind

I close my eyes and there you stand

I open them up to an empty land

How can I make you understand

How can I make you see

This fire burns my barren heart

Another night of dripping darkness

Bleeding out in pools of art

That turn into a sea

Since you've been on my mind

My thoughts have hopped out of the seats

To which they were assigned

And now they're out of reach

And they're out of line like an invasive vine

With my senses entwined

Since you've been on my mind

Since you've been on my mind
