歌词
It's knowin' that your door is always open
只是知道你的门总是开着
And your path is free to walk
门前的小路随时欢迎我
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag
这让我想将睡袋
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
卷好藏在你的沙发后面
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
只是知道我不会被过去遗忘的誓言所束缚
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
格线上干涸的墨迹
That keeps you on the back roads by the rivers of my memory
将你留在我记忆长河之畔的小路上
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
将你的温柔永远留在我心中
It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy
没有攀上岩石
Planted on their columns now that bind me
却爬上柱桩的藤蔓已将我缠住
Or something that somebody said because
或已被别人的说过的那些话所束缚
They thought we fit together walkin'
他们认为我们适合在一起
It's just knowing that the world, will not be cursing or forgiving
只是明白了这个世界不会诅咒，也不会宽恕
When I walk along some railroad track and find
当我走在铁路上，才发现
That you're movin' on the back roads by the rivers of my memory
你走在我记忆长河之畔的小路上
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
有那么几个小时，你的温柔仍留在我心中
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
尽管麦田和晾衣绳
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
还有垃圾场和公路阻隔着我们
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
一个女人在母亲面前哭泣
'Cause she turned and I was gone
因为当她回头，我已离开
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face
我或许还在沉默地跑着，幸福的眼泪打湿了脸庞
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
夏日灼烧着我，直到双眼无法看清
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the back roads
但不会看不清你走在那记忆河畔的小路上
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind
温柔流淌在我心间
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron
我从咕嘟沸腾的大锅里盛了一碗汤
In some train yard
在某个火车站
My beard a rustlin' coal pile
胡子，沙沙作响的煤堆
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
脏帽子盖过我的脸
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
手里捧着汤碗
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
我假装把你搂在怀里，才发现
That you're waitin' from the back roads
你在我记忆河畔的小路上等待着
By the rivers of my memory ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind
永远微笑，永远温柔
gentle on my mind
永远温柔
