Bettye LaVette - Concrete Mind Lyrics

Angels hovering round the porchlight
Working overtime
I was sleeping off a bad night
Me, with a concrete mind
Me, with a concrete mind

Spirits standing in the doorway
Waving welcome signs
All I see is come back some other day
Me, with a concrete mind
Me, with a concrete mind

Can you reach me, when I'm sinkin
On my solid ground
Can you find me
When I don't wanna be found

Love came creeping through the window
Like a curling vine
Looking for some one to cling to
Me, with a concrete mind

Me, with a concrete mind

Can you see me, when I'm hiding
Behind my hollow words
Can you hear me
When I don't wanna be heard
I don't wanna be heard

Sunlight sifting down around me
Through the bowing pines
I was given everything I wanted
Me, with a concrete mind
Me, with a concrete mind
