Lyrics A Mood I Was In - Levon Helm, The RCO All-Stars

A Mood I Was In

You know she was only a mood I was in
She wasn’t my baby, not even my friend
A soft puff of cotton, a willful perfume
A beautiful flower that was never to bloom
When I first met her, her thoughts renewed
But I made her happy 'cause that was our mood
She had no possessions to call her own
She came unattended and left on her own
Beautiful flower that took me away
A beautiful fragrance that make my day
Beautiful flower of nature’s own plan
She was only a mood I was in
Somewhere she’s walkin' just out of sight
So if you see her, turn on the light
And if she’s hungry and you can be food
You can love her if that is your mood
Beautiful flower that took me away
A beautiful fragrance that made my mind quake
Beautiful flower of nature’s own plan
She was only a mood I was in
