Dean Martin - Gentle on my mind

midi by toni sánchez (papimoto) & kar by garschio

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 your couch.

And it's knowing I'm not shackled
by forgotten words and bonds and the ink
stains that have 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 blinds me.
Or something that somebody said
because they thought
we 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.
Movin' on a backroads by the rivers
of my memory and for hours
you're just gentle on my mind.

Well I dip my cup of soup back
from the gurgling crackling caldron
in some train yard.
My beard a roughening coal pile
and a dirty hat
pulled low across my face.

Cupped hands 'round a tin can
I pretend I hold you
to my breast and find.
That you're waving from the back roads
by the river of my memory ever smiling
ever gentle on my mind.

[whistle]
