《Gentle On My Mind》歌词

[00:00:00] Gentle On My Mind - Bobbie Gentry

[00:00:08] Its knowing that your door is always open

[00:00:10] And your path is free to walk

[00:00:17] That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag

[00:00:19] Rolled up and stashed behind your couch

[00:00:25] And its knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds

[00:00:29] And the ink stains that have dried upon some line

[00:00:36] That keeps you on the backroads

[00:00:37] By the rivers of my memory

[00:00:40] It keeps you ever gentle on my mind

[00:00:46] It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy

[00:00:49] Planted On their columns now that binds me

[00:00:55] Or something that somebody said

[00:00:58] Because they thought we fit together walking

[00:01:03] Its just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving

[00:01:08] When I walk along some railroad track and find

[00:01:14] That you're moving on the backroads

[00:01:16] By the rivers of my memory

[00:01:18] And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

[00:01:25] Through the wheat fields and the clotheslines

[00:01:27] And the junkyards and the highways come between us

[00:01:33] And some other woman crying to her mother

[00:01:36] Cause she turned and I was gone

[00:01:42] I still might run in silence

[00:01:44] Tears of joy might stain my face

[00:01:46] And a summer sun might burn me till I'm blind

[00:01:53] But not to where I cannot see you

[00:01:55] Walking on the backroads

[00:01:56] By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

[00:02:03] The shutters creak and autumn winds

[00:02:06] That Make me draw inside myself in silence

[00:02:12] Cross legged now I sit and watch

[00:02:14] The endless chase of leaves across my yard

[00:02:20] And laying down my hairbrush

[00:02:22] I lean back within my window seat and find

[00:02:29] That you're moving on the backroads

[00:02:31] By the rivers of my memory

[00:02:33] Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind

[00:02:40] Through cupped hands 'round a tin can

[00:02:42] I pretend I hold you to my breast and find

[00:02:48] That you're waving from the backroads

[00:02:50] By the rivers of my memory

[00:02:52] Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
