John Hartford - "Gentle On My Mind"

[BluesRunTheGame]

[luvs2sing]

1. I think this is the most lyrically beautiful song ever written.

It has been my favorite since I was a child, and I still get chills every time I hear it. John Hartford is a national treasure.

I still might run in silence
Tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me till I’m blind
But not to where I cannot see you walking on the backroads
By the river flowing gentle on my mind.

Perfection..

2. An unheralded genius who died before his time
