Out Of My Mind

Words & Lyrics:

Rory Gallagher

 

Well, you took me out of my mind, baby, you took me out of my head.

My friends have gone to look for me, I ain't been seen, yet.

 

No, I ain't disappeared, I'm only over here.

Well, you found me out of my skull, baby, staring at the stars.

You will appear, now, just in time to what I was looking for.

I had no place to run, did not have anyone.

 

Well, I wonder why the day is so bright.  What can the reason be?

You light up the darkest night like a pearl out of the sea.

 

Hope it can always be, but I must wait and see.

Give me some of your love, baby, that is all I need.

Tell me what it's all about, tell me what you see.

 

Where have you been so long?  My tears have dried and gone.

Where have you been so long?  All my blues have gone.

 

Well, you took me out of my mind, baby, you took me out of my head.

My friends have gone to look for me, I ain't been seen, yet.

 

No, I ain't disappeared, I'm only over here.

No, I ain't disappeared, I'm only over here.
