Lyrics:

See you standing in the door against the dark
Fireflies around you like a crown of sparks
You blow me a kiss that blurs my vision
Blurs the human condition

You're the ocean ringing in my brain
You are my island ripe with cane
Catch the scent of strange flowers when you pass
Fluid motion like the wind in grass

It's your eyes I want to see
Looking into mine
Got you live on my mind
All the time

Light me like incense in the night
Light me like a candle burning bright
Light me like a searchlight in the sky
Time means nothing when I look in your eyes

It's your eyes I want to see
Looking into mine
Got you live on my mind
All the time

It's your eyes I want to see
Looking into mine
Got you live on my mind
All the time

Known comments by Bruce Cockburn about this song, by date:

  • 21 September 2003:

    Following the 21 September 2003 concert in Gent, Belgium Bruce met with fans to chat, sign cds, etc. I'd interviewed and photographed Bruce on a prior occasion and Bruce remembered me. During the conversation I said, "Thank you for Live On My Mind because I think of the love of my life every time I play it." Bruce's comment, though short was, "So do I."
