I've been listening to this song over and over and over again, and the first few verses just resonate with me. And here they are, a gift from me to you, words that speak of a love that is left free to grow and is not "shackled by forgotten words and bonds". And if you listen, really really listen, to the lyrics, you'll hear a happiness between two people who have wilfully chosen to love each other.
OK, I'm in a sappy mood :)
It's knowing you don't try to buy my freedon with some promise made of gold
That for you my door stays open and our love becomes a simple two way street
And it's knowing we're not shackled by forgotten words and bonds,
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you on the backroads by the rivers of my memories
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
(Tammy Wynette)
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 we're not shackled by forgotten words and bonds,
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you on the backroads by the rivers of my memories
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
(Glenn Campbell)
