《Gentle On My Mind》歌词

[00:00:01] Gentle On My Mind - howard carpendale

[00:00:03] Written by：John Hartford

[00:00:09] It's knowin' that your door is always open

[00:00:13] And you path is free to walk

[00:00:19] That makes me tend to keep my sleeping bag rolled up

[00:00:22] And stashed behind your couch

[00:00:28] It's knowin' I'm not shackled

[00:00:30] By forgotten words and bonds

[00:00:33] And the heat stains that have dried up on some lane

[00:00:38] That keeps you in the back roads

[00:00:40] By the rivers of my memory

[00:00:43] It keeps you ever gentle on my mind

[00:00:50] It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy

[00:00:53] Planted on their columns mellowed by me

[00:01:00] Or something that somebody said

[00:01:02] Because they thought we'd fit together walking

[00:01:09] It's just knowing that the world will not be cursin'

[00:01:13] Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find

[00:01:21] That you're moving on the back roads

[00:01:24] By the rivers of my memory and for hours

[00:01:27] You're just gentle on my mind

[00:01:33] Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines

[00:01:36] And the junk yards and the highways come between us

[00:01:43] And some other woman's cryin' to her mother

[00:01:46] Cause she turned and I was gone

[00:01:53] I still might run in silence

[00:01:55] Til' the join might stain my face

[00:01:58] And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind

[00:02:05] But not to where I cannot see you

[00:02:08] Walking on the back roads

[00:02:10] By the rivers flowing gently on my mind

[00:02:17] I dip my cup of soup from a gurgling

[00:02:20] Cracking cauldron in some train yard

[00:02:27] I'm barely runnin' cold how

[00:02:29] Have a dirty hat pulled low across my face

[00:02:36] Who cupped hands around the tin cans

[00:02:38] I pretend to hold you to my breast and find

[00:02:46] That you're wavin' from the back roads

[00:02:48] By the rivers of my memory

[00:02:51] Ever smiling never gentle on my mind

[00:02:56] Oh pretty gentle man
