Bob Dylan - daddy, you been on my mind

화자는 아버지를 생각하며 그리움을 노래하지만, 그 관계에 대한 고통이나 슬픔은 없다고 느낀다
아버지가 어떤 상황에서든 상관없이 그의 마음에 계속 남아 있다는 사실을 이야기하며, 자기 자신을 돌아보게 된다
아버지가 매일 아침 거울을 보며 자신의 모습을 어떻게 느낄지 궁금해한다

Perhaps it's the colour of the sun cut flat
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
But Daddy, you been on my mind
I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down, don't get upset
I am not pleading or saying, "I can't forget you."
I do not walk the floor bowed down and bent
But yet, Daddy, you been on my mind
Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don't bother me nor bring me down in sorrow
It don't even matter who you're waking with tomorrow
Daddy, you're just on my mind
I am not asking you to say words like "yes" or "no,"
Please understand me, I 'm not calling for you to go
I'm just breathing to myself, pretending not that I don't know
That Daddy, you been on my mind
When you wake up in the morning, baby, look inside your mirror
Oh you know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on her mind
As someone who has had you on her mind
