《Gentle on My Mind》歌词

[00:00:00] Gentle On My Mind - Billy White

[00:00:01] Written by：John Hartford

[00:00:08] It's knowin' that your door is always open

[00:00:11] And your path's free to walk

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

[00:00:20] Rolled up and stashed behind your couch

[00:00:26] It's knowin' I'm not shackled by forgotten words or bonds

[00:00:30] And the ink stains that have dried upon some lines

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

[00:00:38] By the rivers of my memories

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

[00:00:47] It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy

[00:00:49] Planted on the columns now that binds me

[00:00:55] Or somethin' that somebody said

[00:00:58] Because that thought we fit together walkin'

[00:01:03] It's just knowin' that the world will not be cursin' or forgivin'

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

[00:01:14] It's you wavin' from the backroads by the rivers of my memory

[00:01:19] And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

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

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

[00:01:34] And some other woman cryin' to her mother

[00:01:37] 'Cause she turned and I was gone

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

[00:01:45] Tears of joy might stain my face

[00:01:47] And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind

[00:01:53] But not to where

[00:01:54] I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads

[00:01:58] By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind

[00:02:04] I'd dip my cup of soup back from them gurglin'

[00:02:07] Cracklin' cauldron in some trainyard

[00:02:12] My beard roughenin' coal pile

[00:02:15] Dirty hat pulled low 'cross my face

[00:02:21] Through cupped hands and a round tin can

[00:02:23] I pretend to hold you to my breast and find

[00:02:29] That you're wavin' from the backroads

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

[00:02:34] Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
