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

(marshall crenshaw / bill teeley)

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...
