You Don't Run Across My Mind

from Pennsylvania Coal by Irene Kelley

about

This song first came about from just a thought: “Peter, you know when you wonder if someone thinks about you, even just a little, and if you were to describe how much that person consumed your thoughts it would be in large amounts…? Can we write that?” Peter handed me verse one, and we were off and running.

lyrics

“You Don’t Run Across My Mind”
Written by Irene Kelley/Peter Cooper
-------------------------------

Maybe I’m a passing thought, when the wood smoke’s in the air
Maybe I’m a summer breeze, in the July weather fair

*(But )You don’t run across my mind, you’re in there all the time
You don’t travel through my heart, you are not a moving part
You’re here and here you’ll stay, and though you’re far away
Years and years and still I find, you don’t run across my mind

Maybe I’m a coat you wore, through some winter long ago
Worn so close but left behind, when the spring replaced the snow
(*)
Maybe when you think of me, in some fleeting now and then
Know that you are dear to me, and that my love knows no end
(*)
