Heart, Mind, and Soul

The What of Whom (1982)

Thanks to Jimmy Nothin'

I thought I had it so bad.
I didn't realize how much I relied on you.

More than just a memory,
More like a feelin'.
I'd remember every time,
Anytime I needed it.
And I needed it more
Than I could have imagined
Cause this feelin' went deep
In my mind, my heart, and my soul.

But late one night
I stumbled by the home,
Cursing awful things
Hope she didn't hear me.
Oh, but I think she did,
As I hug my new found sorrow.
Oddly, it gives me strength
In my mind, my heart, and my soul.

Sorry.

I'm sorry

My heart sank with the moon
On that horrible walk
All alone by the drive in.
And the night stood still
While lovers entwined
On the screen on the hill
I knew somethin' had happened
In my mind, my heart and my soul.

That little grin,
It meant so much.
So sad, it's so sad
If it don't grin for me no more.
But I hope you know better.
I didn't mean what I was saying.
But its a fool that says
I was only joking
In my mind, my heart, and my soul.


Don't you mind me
If switch from first to the second person.
I'm mixed up. I don't know
Who I'm talking to.
Oh, but somethin's missin'.
I hope I can bring it back.
It's somethin' that I lack
In my mind, my heart, and my soul.

I'm sorry.
sorry.
I'm sorry

[Lyrics & chords transcribed to the best of my ability, from memory. the
chords for the verses are nearly always the same, except for the line "so
sad that it don't grin for me no more" which is a classic example of Daniel
spontaneously changing the structure to amazing effect. This is
undoubtedly my favorite song of his and it deserves to be beloved as
'Walking The Cow', 'Some Things Last A Long Time', etc. See for your
selves]
