Gentle On My Mind Lyrics - Engelbert Humperdinck

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 are dried upon some line 

That keeps you in the back roads 

the rivers of my memory 

That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

HOT SONG: TWICE - 'Feel Special' - LYRICS 

NEW SONG: Miley Cyrus - 'Slide Away' - LYRICS 

It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy 

Planted on their columns now that bind 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 walked 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 

I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' 

Cracklin' cauldron in some train yard 

My beard a roughening coal pile 

And a dirty hat pulled low across my face 

Through cupped hands 'round the tin can 

I pretend to hold you to my breast and find 

That you're waiting on the back roads 

By the rivers of my memories 

Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind 

It's knowing that your door is always open 

And your path is free to walk 

That keeps you in the back roads 

by the rivers of my memory 

That keeps you ever gentle on my mind 

Through cupped hands 'round the tin can 

I pretend to hold you to my breast and find 

That you're waiting on the back roads 

By the rivers of my memories 

Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
