I Heard Her Call My Name, lyric by Velvet Underground

from the songs album White Light/white Heat

(reed)

Ever since i was on cripples monday,
I've got my eyeballs on my knees.
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 that she's long, dead and gone,
Still it ain't the same.
When i wake up in the morning, mama,
I heard her call my name.
I know she's dead and long, gone.
I heard her call my name.
And then i felt my mind split open.

I know that she's long, dead and gone,
Still it ain't the same.
When i wake up in the morning, mama,
I heard her call my name.
I know she's dead and long, gone.
Still, i heard her call my name.
And then my mind split open.
