Gentle on My Mind

Lyrics
It's knowing that your door is always open And the path is free to walk That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag Rolled up and stashed behind your couch And it's knowing I'm not shackled By forgotten words and bonds And the ink stains that are dried upon some line That keeps you in the backroads By the rivers of my memory Keeps you ever gentle on my mind It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy Planted on some columns now that binds us Or something that somebody said Because they thought we'd fit together walking It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing Or forgiving when I'm drifting through the market place and find That you're moving on the backroads By the rivers of my memory And for hours you're just gentle on my mind Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines And the junkyards and the highways come between us And some other woman cryin' to her mother 'Cause she turned and you were gone I still might walk for hours, tears of joy might stain my face And a summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind But not to where I cannot see you movin' on the backroads By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind Shutters creak in autumn wind That make me draw inside myself in silence And just like now I sit and watch Stay in [?] across my yard And laying down my hair brush [?] Back within my window seat and find That you're moving on in backroads By the rivers of my memory Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind Gentle on my mind Gentle on my mind Gentle on my mind Gentle on my mind
