Gentle On My Mind(2011 - Remaster)- The Proclaimers[00:00:00]
It's knowing that your door is always open[00:00:09]
And your path is free to walk[00:00:12]
That makes me tend to[00:00:17]
Leave my sleeping bag[00:00:19]
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch[00:00:20]
And it's knowing I'm not shackled[00:00:26]
By forgotten words and bonds[00:00:28]
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line[00:00:30]
That keeps you in the backroads[00:00:37]
By the rivers of my memory[00:00:39]
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind[00:00:41]
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy[00:00:48]
Planted on their columns now that binds me[00:00:50]
Or something that somebody said[00:00:56]
Because they thought we fit together walking[00:00:58]
It's just knowing that the world will not be[00:01:05]
Cursing or forgiving[00:01:07]
When I walk along some railroad track and find[00:01:09]
That you are moving on the backroads[00:01:15]
By the rivers of my memory[00:01:18]
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind[00:01:20]
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines[00:01:27]
And the junkyards[00:01:29]
And the highways come between us[00:01:30]
And some other woman's crying to her mother[00:01:35]
'Cause she turned and I was gone[00:01:38]
I still might run in silence tears[00:01:44]
Of joy might stain my face[00:01:46]
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind[00:01:48]
But not to where[00:01:55]
I cannot see you walking on the backroads[00:01:56]
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind[00:01:59]
I dip my cup of soup[00:02:06]
Back from the gurgling[00:02:08]
Crackling cauldron in some train yard[00:02:09]
My beard a rufflin' coal pile[00:02:14]
A dirty hat pulled low across my face[00:02:17]
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can[00:02:22]
I pretend I hold you to my brest and I find[00:02:26]
That you're waving from the backroads[00:02:32]
By the rivers of my memory[00:02:34]
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind[00:02:36]
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind[00:03:16]
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind[00:03:56]
