Gentle On My Mind - Ray Conniff[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 leave my sleeping bag[00:00:18]
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch[00:00:21]
And it's knowing I'm not shackled[00:00:28]
By forgotten words and bonds[00:00:30]
And the ink stains[00:00:32]
That have dried upon some line[00:00:33]
That keeps you in the backroads[00:00:39]
By the rivers of my mem'ry[00:00:42]
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind[00:00:44]
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy[00:00:51]
Planted on their columns now that binds me[00:00:54]
Or something that somebody said[00:01:01]
Because they thought we fit together walking[00:01:03]
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing[00:01:10]
Or forgiving when[00:01:13]
I walk along some railroad track and find[00:01:15]
That you are moving on the backroads[00:01:22]
By the rivers of my mem'ry[00:01:24]
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind[00:01:26]
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines[00:01:33]
And the junkyards[00:01:36]
And the highways come between us[00:01:37]
And some other woman crying to her mother[00:01:43]
'Cause she turned and I was gone[00:01:46]
I still might run in silence[00:01:52]
Tears of joy might stain my face[00:01:55]
And the summer sun might[00:01:57]
Burn me 'til I'm blind[00:01:58]
But not to where[00:02:04]
I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads[00:02:05]
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind[00:02:09]
