Gentle on My Mind
Lyricist:John Hartford
'Cause 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 ink stains that have dried upon some line That keeps you on the back roads by the rivers of my memory That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
And 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 fit together walkin'
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 back roads by the rivers of my memory And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
Or I may dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' Cracklin' caldron in some train yard With my beard a rustlin', cold towel And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can I pretend to hold you to my breast and find That you're waiting on the back roads by the rivers of my memories Ever smiling', ever gentle on my mind, you're gentle on my mind
