歌词
It's knowin' that your door is always open
我知道你的门总是为我敞开
And your path is free to walk
你家的路我也可以自由出入
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag
我通常会放下我的行囊
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
把它裹好放在你的沙发后面
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
我知道我不会被那些曾经的言语和桎梏困缚
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
那些干了的墨迹留下一道道痕迹
That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my memory
在我的记忆长河中你永远都在
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
你一直都是那么温柔
It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy
没有再爬墙的
Planted on their columns now that bind me
却环绕在木桩上的常青藤远远地在我身后
Or something that somebody said because
还有那些人说过的话
They thought we fit together walkin
因为他们认为我们能够并肩行走
It's just knowing that the world, will not be cursing or forgiving
只是明白了个世界没有诅咒或是原谅
When I walk along some railroad track and find
当我一个人走在铁道上的时候发现
That you're movin' on the back roads by the rivers of my memory
在我的记忆长河中你一直都在
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
一直是那么温柔
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
即使麦田、晾衣绳
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
废品站、铁路将我们分隔
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
还有一些女人向她们的母亲哭泣
'Cause she turned and I was gone
因为她转身而我离开了
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face
我仍旧沉默着逃跑了，泪水布满我的脸颊
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
夏天的阳光快要把我的眼睛灼瞎了
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the back roads
但是我在过去的路中没有看见你的身影
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind
记忆长河温柔地抚慰着我
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron
我从噗呲作响的高压锅中盛了碗汤
In some train yard
在铁道旁
My beard a ruffnin' coal pile
我的胡子像堆煤渣
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
我用脏帽子盖住脸
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
手里握了罐饮料
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
我假装把你抱在怀里
That you're waitin' from the back roads
你在我身后远远地等着我
By the rivers of my memory ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind
记忆长河中的你永远温柔地微笑着
gentle on my mind
那么温柔
gentle on my mind...
如此温柔
