Madeleine Peyroux - Gentle On My Mind[00:00:00]
It's knowing that your door is always open[00:00:19]
And your path is free to walk[00:00:25]
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag[00:00:37]
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch[00:00:42]
And it's knowing I'm not shackled[00:00:51]
By forgotten words and bonds[00:00:59]
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line[00:01:03]
That keeps you in the backroads[00:01:17]
By the rivers of my memory[00:01:21]
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind[00:01:26]
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy[00:01:48]
Planted on their columns now that bind us[00:01:54]
Or something that somebody said[00:02:06]
Because they thought we fit together walking[00:02:11]
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing[00:02:24]
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find[00:02:31]
That you're moving on the backroads[00:02:46]
By the rivers of my memory[00:02:51]
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind[00:02:56]
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines[00:03:18]
And the junkyards and the highways come between us[00:03:22]
And some other man's cryin' to his mother[00:03:30]
'Cause he turned and I was gone[00:03:42]
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face[00:03:54]
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind[00:04:02]
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads[00:04:16]
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind[00:04:26]
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin'[00:04:40]
Cracklin' caldron in some train yard[00:04:44]
My beard a rustling cold towel and[00:04:51]
A dirty hat pulled low across my face[00:05:02]
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can[00:05:14]
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find[00:05:19]
That you're waiting from the backroads[00:05:36]
By the rivers of my memories[00:05:42]
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind[00:05:46]
