Whenever You're On My Mind (Demo, 1979)

Marshall Crenshaw


I think about you and forget what I've tried to be 
Everything is foggy and hard to see 
It seems to be, but can it be, a fantasy? 
Whenever I think about you, strangers eyes in the crowd flash
past 
I go on and think of the fate you've cast 
It seems to be a reverie, you're here with me 
'Cause whenever you're on my mind
Whenever you're on my mind
I leave the world behind 
Whenever you're on my mind 
I think about you and I'm weak though I'm in my prime 
Set my watch and still lose the track of time 
It seems to be, but can it be, a fantasy? 
Whenever I think about you

I could be almost anywhere
I'd lose myself without you but I don't care
It seems to be a reverie, you're here with me 
'Cause whenever you're on my mind
Whenever you're on my mind
I leave the world behind, whenever you're on my mind 

I never thought I'd be in this situation 
It seems wherever I go I'm with you 
And though I never seem to find my place 
At every turn I see your face 
Whenever I think about you
It seems to be a reverie, you're here with me
'Cause whenever you're on my mind
Whenever you're on my mind
I leave the world behind 
Whenever you're on my mind...
