GENTLE ON MY MIND

DEAN MARTIN

Key:

It's know in'that your doo r is always ope n,

and your pa th is free to walk,

that makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag

rolled up and st ashed behind your c ouch.

And it's kn owing I'm not s hackled

by forgotten words and b onds,

and the in k stains that have d ried upon some line,

that keeps you in the backroads by the rivers of my memory,

that keeps you ever gen tle on my m ind.

It's not cl inging to the rocks and ivy

plan ted on their columns now that binds me,

or something that somebody said

because they thought we f it together walkin '.

It's just know ing that the w orld will not b e cursing or f orgiving,

when I wa lk along some railroad track and find,

that you're moving on the backroads by the rivers of my memory,

and for hours you're just ge ntle on my m ind.

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
