Karaoke Track: Innamorata by Dean Martin (Sunfly) - Karaoke Nerds

GENTLE ON

MY MIND

It's knowing that your door

is always open
and your path is free to walk

That makes me tend to leave
my sleeping bag rolled up
and stashed
behind the couch

It's knowing I'm not

shackled by forgotten

words and bonds
And the ink stains

that are dried up
on 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 clinging to the rocks

and ivy planted on their
columns now that binds me

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 walk along
some railroad track and find

That you're moving
on the back roads
by the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're just
gentle on my mind

Through the wheat fields
and the clothes lines
and the junk yards and the

highways come between us

And some other man crying

to his mother 'cos he
turned and you were gone

I still might run in silence
tears ofioy
might stain my face
And the summer sun

might burn me 'til I'm blind

But not to where
I cannot see you walking
on the back roads

by the rivers flowing
gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of soup back
from the gurgling, crackling
cauldron in some train yard

My bitter rough and coal pile

and a dirty hat
pulled low across my face

Through cupped hands
round a tin can I pretend

you hold me to
my breast and find

That you're waving
on the back roads

by the rivers of my memory

Ever smiling ever
gentle on my mind

GENTLE ON

MY MIND
