He was born in the summer of his 27th year Comin' home to a place he'd never been before He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again You might say he found a key for every door When he first came to the mountains his life was far away On the road and hangin' by a song But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long But the Colorado rocky mountain high I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye Rocky mountain high He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below He saw everything as far as you can see And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun And he lost a friend but kept his memory Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams Seeking grace in every step he takes His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake And the Colorado rocky mountain high I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply Rocky mountain high Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more More people, more scars upon the land And the Colorado rocky mountain high I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly Rocky mountain high It's Colorado rocky mountain high I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky Friends around the campfire and everybody's high Rocky mountain high |

Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine A million tomorrows shall all pass away Ere I forget all the joy that is mine today I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover You'll know who I am by the song that I sing I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover Who cares what tomorrow shall bring? Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine A million tomorrows shall all pass away Ere I forget all the joy that is mi-uh-ine today I can't be contented with yesterday's glory I can't live on promises winter to spring (winter to spring) Today is my moment and now is my story I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine A million tomorrows shall all pass away Ere I forget all the joy that is mi-uh-ine today Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine A million tomorrows shall all pass away Ere I forget all the joy that is mi-uh-ine today - |

There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin' in The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders. There's a truck out on the four lane a mile or more away The whinin' of his wheels just makes it colder. He's an hour away from ridin' on your prayers up in the sky, And ten days on the road are barely gone, There's a fire softly burnin', supper's on the stove, But it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm, Hey, it's good to be back home again, Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend, Hey, it's good to be back home again. There's all the news to tell him, how'd you spend 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. Hey, it's good to be back home again. Sometimes this old farm seems like a long-lost friend. Hey it's good to be back home again. And oh the time that I can lay this tired old body down, And feel your fingers feather soft upon me. The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way, The happiness that livin' 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 burnin' and supper on the stove and the Light in your eyes that make me warm. Hey, it's good to be back home again. Sometimes this old arm feels like a long-lost friend. Hey, it's good to be back home again. Hey, it's good to be back home again. Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend. Hey, it's good to be back home again. |

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 getting ready to fly Fly away, fly away, fly away Life in the city can make you crazy For sounds of the sand and the sea Life in a high-rise can make you hungry For things that you can't even see Fly away, fly away, fly away In this whole world there's nobody as lonely as she There's nowhere to go and there's nowhere that she'd rather be She's looking for lovers and children playing She's looking for signs of the spring She listens for laughter and sounds of dancing She listens for any old thing Fly away, fly away, fly away |

On the road of experience I'm trying to find my own way Sometimes I wish that I could fly away When I think that I'm moving Suddenly things stand still I'm afraid cause I think they always will And I'm looking for space And to find out who I am And I'm looking to know and understand It's a sweet sweet dream Sometimes I'm almost there Sometimes I fly like an eagle and Sometims I'm deep in despair All alone in the universe Sometimes that's how it seems I get lost in the sadness and the screams Then I look in the center Suddenly everything's clear I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams And I'm looking for space And to find out who I am And I'm looking to know and understand It's a sweet sweet dream Sometimes I'm almost there Sometimes I fly like an eagle and Sometims I'm deep in despair On the road of experience Join in the living day If there's an answer It's just that it's just that way When you're looking for space And to find out who you are When you're looking to try and reach the stars It's a sweet sweet dream Sometimes I'm almost there Sometimes I fly like an eagle and Sometimes I'm deep in despair From the album WINDSONG (1975) |

There are children raised in sorrow On a scorched and barren plain There are children raised beneath a golden sun There are children of the water Children of the sand And they cry out through the universe Their voices raised as one I want to live I want to grow I want to see I want to know I want to share what I can give I want to be I want to live Have you gazed out on the ocean Seen the breaching of a whale? Have you watched the dolphins frolic in the foam? Have you heard the song the humpback hears Five hundred miles away Telling tales of ancient history of passages and home? I want to live I want to grow I want to see I want to know I want to share what I can give I want to be I want to live For the worker and the warrior The lover and the liar For the native and the wanderer in kind For the maker and the user And the mother and her son I am looking for my family And all of you are mine We are standing all together Face to face and arm in arm We are standing on the threshold of a dream No more hunger no more killing No more wasting life away It is simply an idea And I know its time has come I want to live I want to grow I want to see I want to know I want to share What I can give I want to be I want to live.....I want to live Copyright 1971 Cherry Lane Music Co. From the album "I Want To Live" - John Denver |

To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean To ride on the crest of the 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 CHORUS Aye Calypso The place's 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 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 a wind-swell Joyful and loving in letting it be CHORUS Aye Calypso The place's 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 |

Me and my uncle went a ridin' down
From Colorado West Texas bound We stopped over in Santa Fe The part of being about half way Besides it was the hottest part of the day We led our ponies into a stall Went to a bar, boys, bought drinks for all Two days in the saddle, my body hurt And being summer, took off my shirt And tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt West Texas cowboys all over town With gold and silver, their loaded down Just in for round up, you know it seemed a shame And so my uncle starts a friendly game It's "Hi-lo Jack", the winner takes the game From the beginning my uncle started to win Them Texas cowboys they was mad as sin Some said he's cheatin', ah, but that can't be Because my uncle, well, he's as honest as me I'm about as honest as a Denver man can be One of them cowboys, you know he started to draw I grabbed a bottle, slapped him on the jaw I had to shoot another now he won't grow old In the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold We hightailed it down to Mexico God bless cowboys, god bless gold God bless my uncle, God rest his soul He taught me well, boys, he taught me all I know Taught me so well that I grabbed the gold Left him lying there by the side of the road |

Be sure it's true when you say, I love you. It's a sin to tell a lie. Millions of hearts have been broken, Just because these words were spoken. I love you, Yes I do, I love you. If you break my heart I'll die. So be sure it's true, When you say I love you, it's a sin to tell a lie. Cross my heart, hope to die, I'll never, never ever tell another white lie. Took a little girl out on a date last night, Next to her Greta Gerty would have looked all right. Now I'm between the devil and the deep blue sea, cause I said "Baby you look good to me." I told her I loved her, but oh, how I lied, and now she's getting set to be my blushing bride. If she leads me to the altar, I'm sunk cause I can't tell the preacher I was drunk. So God have mercy on a "no account sinner," Give me one more chance to let another guy win her. Cross my heart and hope to die, I'll never, never, never, tell one more time, I'll never tell another white lie, do do di do do. |

One Sunday morning as I was walking By Brisbane Waters I chanced to stray I heard a convict his fate bewailing As on the sunny riverbank he lay I am a native of Erin, Ireland But banished now from my native shore They stole me from my independence And from the maiden whom I do adore I've been a prisoner at Port Macquarie At Norfolk Island and Emu Plains At Castle Hill and cursed Toongabbie At all these settlements I've been in chains But of all places of condemnation And penal stations in New South Wales To Moreton Bay I have found no equal Excessive tyranny each day prevails For three long years I was beastly treated And heavy irons on my legs I wore My back from flogging was lacerated And oft times covered with my crimson gore And many a man from downright starvation Lies mouldering now beneath the clay And Captain Logan he had us mangled On the triangles of Moreton Bay Like the Egyptians and ancient Hebrews We were oppressed under Logan's yoke Till a native black lying there in ambush Did deal our tyrant with his mortal stroke My fellow prisoners be exhilarated That all such monsters like death shall find And when from bondage we're extricated Our former suffering shall will fade from mind One Sunday morning as I was walking By Brisbane Waters I chanced to stray I heard a convict his fate bewailing As on the sunny riverbank he lay |

The Eagle And The Hawk Words and Music by John Denver and Mike Taylor I am the eagle, I live in high countryIn rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers But time is still turning they soon will be dry And all those who see me and all who believe in me Share in the freedom I feel when I fly Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops Sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars And reach for the heavens and hope for the future And all that we "can" be, not what we are |
