Gentle on my mind

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 bind 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 clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
'cause she turned and I was gone
I still might 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

I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron
In some train yard
My beard a rustlin' coal pile
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're waitin' from the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
Ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind




知道你的门总是敞开
你的路可以自由行走
这让我想要卸下行囊
把它裹好藏在你的沙发后
知道我不会被
那些曾经的话语和桎梏束缚
那些床单上的墨渍
让你成为过去的路
在我的记忆长河里
永远温柔

没有爬墙却
绕在了柱桩上的常春藤已落在我身后
还有那些别人说过的话
他们以为我们适合一起行走
只是明白了这个世界
不存在诅咒和宽恕
当我走在铁道上，发现
你已是过去的路
延着我记忆长河
有那么几个小时，你仍然温柔于我心


尽管麦田，晾衣绳
废品站，高速公路都挤到了我们中间
还有一些女人向母亲的哭诉
因为她们回头了，而我，已经离开
我可能还会沉默奔跑
快乐的眼泪为面庞着色
夏日的阳光会在我快要失明时燃烧我
但是现在我看不清
你已是过去的路
却在我的心河上温柔流淌


我从噗呲作响的高压锅里盛了碗汤
在铁道旁
我的胡子像堆煤渣
脏帽子盖过我的脸
手里握着罐饮料
我假装把你搂在心上，发现
你还在身后的路上等待
在我记忆的长河里
永远微笑，永远温柔
