《Gentle On My Mind》歌词

[00:00:00] Gentle On My Mind (我心中的温柔) - The Hamilton County Bluegrass Band

[00:00:02] Written by：John Hartford

[00:00:05] It's knowin' that your door is always open

[00:00:09] And your path is free to walk

[00:00:16] That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag

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

[00:00:26] And it's knowin' I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds

[00:00:32] And the ink stains that have dried upon some line

[00:00:40] That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my memory

[00:00:46] That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

[00:00:56] It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy

[00:00:59] Planted on their columns now that bind me

[00:01:07] Or something that somebody said because

[00:01:11] They thought we fit together walking

[00:01:18] It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving

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

[00:01:31] That you're movin' on the back roads by the rivers of my memory

[00:01:37] And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

[00:01:48] Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines

[00:01:50] And the junkyards and the highways come between us

[00:01:58] And some other woman's cryin' to her mother

[00:02:02] 'Cause she turned and I was gone

[00:02:09] I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face

[00:02:15] And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind

[00:02:23] But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the back roads

[00:02:28] By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind

[00:02:55] I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron

[00:03:00] In some train yard

[00:03:06] My beard a ruffnin' coal pile

[00:03:08] And a dirty hat pulled low across my face

[00:03:16] Through cupped hands 'round a tin can

[00:03:19] I pretend to hold you to my breast and find

[00:03:27] That you're waitin' from the back roads

[00:03:30] By the rivers of my memory ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind

[00:03:43] By the rivers of my memory ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
