歌词
It's knowin' that your door is always open
知道你的门总是打开的
And your path is free to walk
你门前的小径是可以自由出入的
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag
这些让我想要离开我的睡袋
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
将它卷起来扔到你的沙发后面
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled
我是不会被束缚住的
By forgotten words and bonds
被过去那些话语和羁绊
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
那些床单上的墨渍
That keeps you in the back roads
让你成为过去的路
By the rivers of my memory
在我的记忆长河里
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
永远温柔
It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy
没有爬墙却
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
绕在了柱桩上的常春藤已落在我身后
Or something that somebody said
还有那些别人说过的话
because They thought we fit together walkin'
他们以为我们适合一起行走
It's just knowing that the world
只是明白了这个世界
Will not be cursing or forgiving
不存在诅咒和宽恕
When I walk along some railroad track and find
当我走在铁道上，发现
That you're movin' on the back roads
你却是是过去的路
By the rivers of my memory
延着我记忆长河行走
Planted on their columns now that bind me
有那么几个小时，你温柔于我心
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
尽管麦田，晾衣绳
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
废品站，高速公路都挤到了我们中间
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
还有一些女人向母亲的哭诉
'cause she turned and I was gone
那是因为她们回头了，而我，已经离开
I still might run in silence
我或许还会沉默奔跑
Tears of joy might stain my face
快乐的眼泪为面庞着色
But not to where I cannot see You
夏日的阳光会在我快要失明时燃烧我
walkin' on the back roads
但是现在我看不清
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind
你已是那过去的路
by dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron
却一直在我的心河上温柔流淌
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
从噗呲作响的高压锅里盛了碗汤
In some train yard
在铁道旁
My beard a rustlin' coal pile
我的胡子像堆煤渣
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
脏帽子盖过我的脸
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
手里握着罐饮料
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
我假装把你搂在心上，发现
That you're waitin' from the back roads
你还在身后的路上等待
By the rivers of my memory
在我记忆的长河里
Ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind
永远微笑，永远温柔
