《Gentle On My Mind》歌词

[00:00:01] Gentle On My Mind - John Hartford

[00:00:04] It's knowin' that your door is always open

[00:00:08] And your path is free to walk

[00:00:14] That makes me tend to leave

[00:00:16] My sleepin' bag

[00:00:17] Rolled up and stashed behind your couch

[00:00:23] And it's knowin'

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

[00:00:28] And the ink stains

[00:00:29] That have dried upon some lines

[00:00:36] That keeps you in the back roads

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

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

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

[00:00:50] Planted on their columns now that binds me

[00:00:57] Or somethin' that somebody said

[00:01:00] Because they thought we fit together walkin'

[00:01:07] It's just knowin'

[00:01:08] That the world will not be cursin' or forgivin'

[00:01:12] When I walk along

[00:01:13] Some railroad track and find

[00:01:19] That you're moving on the back roads

[00:01:21] By the rivers of my memory

[00:01:24] And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

[00:01:31] Although the wheat fields and the curled twines

[00:01:34] And the junkyards

[00:01:35] And the highways come between us

[00:01:41] And some other woman cryin' to her mother

[00:01:44] 'Cause she turned and I was gone

[00:01:51] I still might run in silence

[00:01:53] Tears of joy might stain my face

[00:01:56] And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind

[00:02:03] But not to where I cannot see you

[00:02:06] Walkin' on the back roads

[00:02:08] By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind

[00:02:15] I dip my cup of soup back from the gurglin'

[00:02:19] Cracklin' cauldron in some train yard

[00:02:25] My beard a roughenin' coal pile

[00:02:27] And a dirty hat pulled low across my face

[00:02:35] Through cupped hands 'round a tin can

[00:02:37] I pretend to hold you to my breast and find

[00:02:44] That you're wavin' from the back roads

[00:02:47] By the rivers of my memory

[00:02:49] Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
