Gentle On My Mind - Trini Lopez
Lyrics by：John Cowan Harford
Composed by：John Cowan Harford
It's knowin' that
Your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to
Leave my sleepin' bag
Rolled up and stashed
Behind your couch
And it's knowin'
I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that
Have dried upon some line
That keeps you
In the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
That keeps you ever
Gentle on my mind
It's not clingin'
To the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns
Now that binds me
Or something that
Somebody said because
They thought we fit
Together walkin'
It's just knowing
That the world
Will not be
Cursing or forgiving
When I walk along some
Railroad track and find
That you're movin'
On the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're
Just gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields
And the clotheslines
And the junkyards and
The highways come between us
And some other woman's
Cryin' to her mama
'Cause she turned
And I was gone
I still run in silence
Tears of joy might stain my face
And the Summer sun might
Burn me till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see
You walkin' on the back roads
By the rivers flowin'
Gentle on my mind
If you gentle on my mind
Gentle on my mind
