"I Heard Her Call My Name"
==============================
album _White Light/White Heat_
(The Velvet Underground, 1968)
written by Lou Reed
==============================
Here comes countdown
she's gone-gone-gone
Ready-ready-ready-ready-ready
got my eyes wide open
Ever since I was on crippled Monday, ah
got my eyeballs on my knees, ah baby, walkin'
I rapped for hours with Mad Mary Williams
she said she never understood a word from me, because -
I know that she cares about me
I heard her call my name
And I know she's long dead and gone
still it ain't the same
Oh, when I wake up in the morning, mama
I heard her call my name
I know she's dead and long far gone
I heard her call my name
and then I felt my mind split open
Here comes countdown
it's gone-gone-gone
Ready-ready-ready-ready-ready
got my eyes wide open
Ever since I was on crippled Monday
got my eyeballs on my knees
I rapped for hours with Mad Mary Williams
she said she never understood a word from me, oh
I know she cares about me
I heard her call my name, walkin' baby now
I said that she's long dead and gone
still she ain't the same ....
Oh, when I wake up in the morning, mama
I heard her call my name, gone-gone
I know she's dead and long far gone
still I heard her call my name
and then my mind split open

album _Live MCMXCIII_
(The Velvet Underground, 1993)
Jun 1993
L'Olympia, Paris, France
==============================
Ever since I was on cripple Monday
got my eyeballs on my knee
I rapped for hours with Mad Mary Williams
never ever said a word to me, because -
I know that she cares about me
I heard her call my name
I know that she's long dead and gone
but still it ain't the same
Early in the morning, mum
I heard her call my name
I know that she's long dead and gone
but it ain't the same
Ever since I was on cripple Monday
got my eyeballs on my knees, hey baby, walkin'
Rapped for hours with ah Henry
never said a word to me, because -
I know that she cares about me
I heard her call my name
And I know that she's long dead and gone
but it still ain't the same
When I wake up in the morning, mum
I heard her call my name
I know that she's long dead and gone
I heard her call my name, my mind split open
