(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
2
Look for me in crisis centers
3
Padded cells
4
Oh, wish me well
5
Oh, shame, don't blame my mother
6
As I am moving out I see
7
she wanted all the best for me
8
Those were the days when phrases never spoken
9
led to broken lives
10
I think of all the things that she once had
11
Her magic moments with my dad
12
Before I came, before he left her
13
And now alone my mother tries
14
Stands by my bed at night and cries
15
While I am sleeping in my blue lagoon
16
Her child of the moon
17
And neither can you blame my dad
18
He gave me everything he had
19
I wish that all the light years between his ears
20
And my lips were gone
21
His business kept him on the run
22
The weekends spared no time for fun
23
On holidays we drove him crazy
24
And so he took the easy route
25
Called up one year and wanted out
26
And ever since, around my birthday time
27
I get a line from Dad
28
Look for me in crisis centers
29
Padded cells
30
Oh, wish me well
31
Oh, shame, don't blame my father
