Karen dalton “something on your mind,”
from: In my own time, 1971
“Yesterday
Any way you made it was just fine
Saw you turn your days into night times
Didn’t you know?
You can’t make it without ever even tryin’
And something’s on your mind, isn’t it?
Left these times
Show you that you’re breaking up your mind
Leaving all your dreams too far behind
Didn’t you see?
You can’t make it without ever even tryin’
And something’s on your mind
Maybe another day you’ll want to feel another way
Can’t stop cryin’
You haven’t got a thing to say
You’re feel you want to run away
There’s no use tryin’ anyway
I’ve seen the writing on the wall
Who cannot maintain will always fall
Hey, well you know
You can’t make it without ever even tryin’
And something’s on your mind, isn’t it?
And it is not, isn’t it?
Something’s on your mind, isn’t it?
And it is not, isn’t it?
Something’s on your mind, isn’t it?”
Recently, for the first time, I heard “Something On Your Mind” from Karen Dalton’s 1971 album “In My Time.” It went straight to my heart and exploded.
