Gentle On My Mind - Patti Page[00:00:00]
It's knowing you don't try to buy my freedom[00:00:04]
With some promise made of gold[00:00:07]
That for you my door stays open[00:00:12]
And our love becomes a simple two way street[00:00:14]
And it's knowing we're not shackled[00:00:20]
By forgotten words and bonds[00:00:22]
And the ink stains that[00:00:24]
Have dried upon some line[00:00:25]
That keeps you on the back roads[00:00:30]
By the rivers of my memory[00:00:32]
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind[00:00:34]
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy[00:00:40]
Planted on some column now that binds us[00:00:43]
Or something that somebody said[00:00:47]
Because they thought we fit together walking[00:00:50]
It's just knowing that[00:00:56]
The world will not be[00:00:57]
Cursing or forgiving[00:00:58]
When I'm drifting through the market place and find[00:01:00]
That you're moving on the back roads[00:01:04]
By the rivers of my memory[00:01:08]
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind[00:01:09]
Well the wheat fields and the clothes lines[00:01:15]
And the junkyards and the highways come between us[00:01:17]
And some other woman crying to her mother[00:01:23]
Cause she turned and you were gone[00:01:26]
I still might walk for hours[00:01:31]
Tears of joy might stain my face[00:01:33]
And a summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind[00:01:35]
But not to where I cannot see[00:01:41]
You moving on the back roads[00:01:43]
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind[00:01:45]
The shutters creek and autumn winds[00:01:51]
That make me draw inside myself in silence[00:01:53]
Cause now I sit and watch[00:01:59]
The endless chase of leaves across my yard[00:02:00]
And laying down my hair brush[00:02:06]
I lean back within my window seat and find[00:02:08]
That your moving on the back roads[00:02:14]
By the rivers of my memory ever smiling[00:02:16]
Ever gentle on my mind[00:02:19]
