John Denver - Back Home Again Lyrics

John Denver - Back Home Again Video

There's a storm across the valley
Clouds are rolling in
The afternoon lies heavy
On your shoulders
There's a truck out on the four lane
A mile or more away
And the whining of his wheels
Just makes it colder
 
He's an hour away from riding
On his prayers up in the sky
And ten days on the road
Are barely gone
Like a fire softly burning
Supper's on the stove
It's the light in your eyes
That keeps him warm
 
Chorus
 
Hey it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm
Feels like a long lost friend
Yes, and hey it's good to be back home again
 
There's all the news to tell him
How you've spent your time
And what's the latest thing the neighbors say
And your mother called last Friday
Sunshine made her cry
And you felt the baby move just yesterday
 
(Repeat chorus then)
(Bridge)
 
And all the time that I can lay this tired old body down
To feel your fingers feather soft upon me
The kisses that I live for
The love that lights my way
The happiness that living with you brings me
 
It's the sweetest thing i know of
Just spending time with you
It's the little things that make a house a home
Like a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove
And it's the light in your eyes that makes me warm
 
(Repeat chorus then)
(Tag)
I said hey it's good to be back home again...

John Denver - Calypso Lyrics

John Denver - Calypso Video

To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and the living
In search of the answers to questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing
Part of beginning to understand
 
Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've taught us, the stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well
 
Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you
To light up the darkness and show us the way
For though we are strangers in your silent world
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide and free as the wind swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be
 
Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well
 
Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well

John Denver - Fly Away Lyrics

John Denver - Fly Away Video

All of her days have gone soft and cloudy
All of her dreams have gone dry
All of her nights have gone sad and shady
She's gettin' ready to fly
 
Fly away (mmmm)
Fly away (mmmm...Fly away)
 
Life in the city can make you crazy
The sounds of the sand and the sea (I love the sea)
Life in a highrise can make you hungry
The things that you can't even see
 
Fly away (mmmm)
Fly away (mmmm...Fly away)
 
In this whole world there's nobody as lonely as she (Nobody as lonely as me)
There's nowhere to go and there's nowhere that she'd rather be (I'd rather be)
 
She's looking for lovers and children playing
She's looking for signs of the spring (Where is the spring?)
She listens for laughter and sounds of dancing
She listens for any old thing
 
Fly away (mmmm)
Fly away (mmmm...Fly away)
 
In this whole world there's nobody as lonely as she (There's nobody as lonely as me)
There's nowhere to go and there's nowhere that she'd rather be (I'd rather be)
 
All of her days have gone soft and cloudy
All of her dreams have gone dry (Where are my days?)
All of her nights have gone sad and shady
She's gettin' ready to fly
 
Fly away (mmmm)
Fly away (mmmm)
Fly away (mmmm...Fly away)
 
(Where are my days?)
(Where are my nights?)
(Where is the springtime?)
(I wanna fly...)
(I wanna fly...)
(I wanna fly...)

John Denver - Rocky Mountain Suite (Cold Nights In Canada) Lyrics

John Denver - Rocky Mountain Suite (Cold Nights In Canada) Video

Up in a meadow in Jasper, Alberta
Two men and four ponies on a long, lonesome ride
To see the high country and learn of her people
The ways that they live there, the ways that they die
One is a teacher, and one a beginner
Just wanting to be there, wanting to know
 
And together they're trying to tell us a story
That should have been listened to long, long ago
How the life in the mountains is living in danger
From too many people, too many machines
And the time is upon us, today is forever
Tomorrow is just one of yesterday's dreams
 
Cold nights in Canada and icy blue winds
The man and the mountains are brothers again
Clear waters are laughing, they sing to the skies
The Rockies are living, they never will die
Up in a meadow in Jasper, Alberta
Two men and four ponies on a long, lonesome ride.
