Gentle On My Mind - Wenche[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[00:00:27]
By forgotten words and bonds[00:00:29]
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line[00:00:31]
That keeps you on the backroads[00:00:37]
By the rivers of my mem'ry[00:00:40]
Keeps you ever gentle on my mind[00:00:42]
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy[00:00:49]
Planted on their columns now that binds me[00:00:51]
Or something that somebody said[00:00:58]
Because they thought we fit together walking[00:01:00]
It's just knowing that the world[00:01:06]
Will not be cursing or forgiving[00:01:08]
When I walk along some railroad track and find[00:01:11]
That you are moving on the backroads[00:01:17]
By the rivers of my mem'ry[00:01:20]
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind[00:01:22]
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines[00:01:29]
And the junkyards and the highways come between us[00:01:31]
And some other woman crying to her mother[00:01:37]
She turned and I was gone[00:01:41]
I still might run in silence[00:01:47]
Tears of joy might stain my face[00:01:49]
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind[00:01:51]
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads[00:01:58]
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind[00:02:02]
The shadows freak in the autumn winds[00:02:09]
That make me draw inside myself in silence[00:02:11]
Cross legged night I sit and watch[00:02:18]
The endless chase of leaves across my yard[00:02:20]
And layin' down my hair brush[00:02:27]
I lean back within my window seat and find[00:02:28]
That you're waitin' from the back roads[00:02:35]
By the rivers of my memory[00:02:38]
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind[00:02:40]
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can[00:02:47]
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find[00:02:49]
That you're waitin' from the back roads[00:02:55]
By the rivers of my memory[00:02:58]
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind[00:03:00]
