Gentle On My Mind (vocal)

Текст песни Party Tyme - Gentle On My Mind (vocal)

Well, it's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch

And it's knowing I'm not shackled by
Forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you on the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we'd fit together walking

It's just knowing that the world
Will not be cursing or forgiving
When I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're moving on the backroads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours, you're just gentle on my mind

Though the wheat fields and the clotheslines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman's crying to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone

Ooh, I still might run in silence
Tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
Oh, but not to where I cannot see you
Walking on the backroads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of soup back from a gurgling
Crackling cauldron in some train yard
My beard, a rustling, a cold towel
A dirty hat pulled low across my face
(Across my face)

Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
Oh, that you're waiting from the backroads
By the rivers of my memories
Ever smiling, ever gentle on my mind
Gentle on my mind, you are gentle on my mind
