《Gentle On My Mind》歌词

[00:00:02] Gentle on My Mind - Alison Krauss

[00:00:05] Written by：John Hartford

[00:00:14] It's knowing that your door is always open

[00:00:17] And your path is free to walk

[00:00:24] That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag

[00:00:27] Rolled up and stashed behind your couch

[00:00:33] And it's knowing I'm not shackled

[00:00:36] By forgotten words and bonds

[00:00:38] And the ink stains that are dried up on some line

[00:00:46] That keeps you in the backroads

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

[00:00:51] And keeps you ever gentle on my mind

[00:00:58] It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy

[00:01:01] Planted on their columns now that bind me

[00:01:08] Or something that somebody said

[00:01:11] Because they thought we fit together walking

[00:01:18] It's just knowing that the world

[00:01:20] Will not be cursing or forgiving

[00:01:23] When I walk along some railroad track and find

[00:01:30] That you're moving on the backroads

[00:01:33] By the rivers of my memory

[00:01:35] And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

[00:01:43] Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines

[00:01:45] And the junkyards and the highways come between us

[00:01:53] And some other woman's crying to her mother

[00:01:56] 'Cause she turned and you were gone

[00:02:03] I still might run in silence

[00:02:05] Tears of joy might stain my face

[00:02:08] And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind

[00:02:15] But not to where I cannot see

[00:02:17] You walking on the backroads

[00:02:20] By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

[00:02:27] You dip your cup of soup back from a gurgling

[00:02:30] Crackling caldron in some train yard

[00:02:37] Your beard a roughening coal pile

[00:02:40] And a dirty hat pulled low across your face

[00:02:47] Through cupped hands 'round the tin can

[00:02:49] I pretend to hold you to my breast and find

[00:02:57] That you're waiting from the backroads

[00:02:59] By the rivers of my memories

[00:03:02] Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind
