Gentle On My Mind - (Tribute to Glen Campbell) - Various Artists (欧美群星)[00:00:00]
It's knowing that your door is always[00:00:09]
Open and your path is free to walk[00:00:12]
That makes me tend to leave my[00:00:18]
Sleeping bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch[00:00:20]
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[00:00:32]
Upon some line[00:00:33]
That keeps you in the backroads[00:00:38]
By the rivers of my mem'ry[00:00:40]
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind[00:00:43]
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy[00:00:49]
Planted on their columns now that bind me[00:00:52]
Or something that somebody said[00:00:58]
Because they thought we fit together walking[00:01:01]
It's just knowing that the world will[00:01:07]
Not be cursing or forgiving[00:01:09]
When I walk along some railroad track and find[00:01:12]
That you're moving on[00:01:18]
The backroads by the rivers of my mem'ry[00:01:19]
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind[00:01:23]
Though the wheat fields and the clotheslines[00:01:30]
And the junkyards and the highways come between us[00:01:32]
And some other woman's crying[00:01:38]
To her mother cause she[00:01:40]
Turned and I was gone[00:01:42]
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 till I'm blind[00:01:52]
But not to where I cannot see[00:01:58]
You walking on the backroads[00:02:01]
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind[00:02:03]
I dip my cup of of soup back[00:02:10]
From a gurgling crackling cauldron in some train yard[00:02:12]
My beard a roughened coal pile[00:02:18]
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face[00:02:21]
Through cupped hands round[00:02:27]
A tin can I pretend to hold you to my breast and find[00:02:29]
That you're wavin' from the[00:02:36]
Backroads by the rivers of my mem'ry[00:02:37]
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind[00:02:40]
