Bettye LaVette - LaVette!

Concrete Mind

Angels
Hovering around my porch like
I think they're all working overtime
I was sleeping off a bad night
Me with a concrete mind
Me with a concrete mind

There were spirits standing in my doorway
They were waving welcome signs
All I could say was come back another day
Me with the concrete mind
Me with the concrete mind

Can you reach me
When I'm sinking
On my own solid ground?
Can you find me?
But I don't wanna be found

Love came creeping through my window
Like a coiling vine
Looking for someone to cling to
There I was with a concrete mind
Me with the concrete mind

Can you see me when I'm hiding
Behind my own hallow walls?
Can you hear me
When I even don't want to be heard?

Some light, drifting down around me
Through the bowling pines
I was given everything I requested
But I had a concrete mind
Me with a concrete mind
