Horses are creatures who worship the earth As they gallop on feet of ivory Constrained by the wonder of dying and birth The horses still run, they are free My body is merely the shell of my soul But the flesh must be given its due Like a pony that carries its rider back home Like an old friend that's tried and been true I had a vision of eagles and horses High on a ridge in a race with the wind Going higher and higher and faster and faster On eagles and horses I'm flying again Eagles inhabit the heavenly heights They know neither limit nor bound They're the guardian angels of darkness and light They see all and hear every sound My spirit will never be broken or caught For the soul is a free-flying thing Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought To rise up on glorious wings I had a vision of eagles and horses High on a ridge in a race with the wind Going higher and higher and faster and faster On eagles and horses I'm flying again My body is merely the shell of my soul But the flesh must be given its due Like a pony that carries its master back home Like an old friend that's tried and been true My spirit will never be broken or caught For the soul is a free-flying thing Like an eagle that need neither comfort nor thought To rise up on glorious wings I had a vision of eagles and horses High on a ridge in a race with the wind Going higher and higher and faster and faster On eagles and horses I'm flying again |

A heritage of vision Was given to us all To smell the rose's fragrance To hear the songbird's call To watch the distant moonlight fill The coming of the tides To understand that life is more Than always choosing sides And some have seen what can be seen Of sailing ships and kings And some are given feet of clay And some are given wings And some must struggle just to breathe Some have a golden spoon And some will never leave the nest While some walk on the moon And don't you know the life that lives Within the silent hills Is just as rich and beautiful And just as unfulfilled As man with all his intellect His reason and his choice Oh, who's to say the nightingale Has any less a voice The silver dolphins twist and dance And sing to one another The cosmic ocean knows no bounds For all that live are brothers The whippoorwill, the grizzly bear The elephant, the whale All children of the universe All weavers of the tale So palomino lie back down And dream yourself to sleep The hawk flies with the morning dove The lion with the sheep As far away as you may go We'll never be apart It's in your dreams that you will know The seasons of the heart |

He was born in the summer of his 27th year Coming home to a place he's never been before. He left yesterday behind him. You might say he was born again. You might say he found the key to every door. When he first came to the mountains his life was far away On the road and hanging by a song. Well the string is already broken and he doesn't really care. It changes fast and it don't last too long. But The Colorado Rocky Mountain High I've seen it raining fire in the sky. Shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby. Rocky Mountain High Rocky Mountain High Well he climbed the feeble mountains. He saw silver clounds below He saw everything as far as you can see. They say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun. He lost a friend but keep the memory. Now he walks in quiet solitude thru the forests and the streams Seeking grace in every step he takes. His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand The serenity of clear blue mountain lake. And The Colorado Rocky Mountain High I've seen it raining fire in the sky. Talk to God and listen to the casual reply. Rocky Mountain High Rocky Mountain High Now his life if full of wonder But his heart still knows some fear Of the simple things he cannot comprehend. Why they try and 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 raining fire in the sky. You know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly. Rocky Mountain High The Colorado Rocky Mountain High I've seen it raining fire in the sky. Friends around the campfire and everybody is high. Rocky Mountain High Rocky Mountain High Rocky Mountain High Rocky Mountain High Rocky Mountain High Rocky Mountain High |

I guess he'd rather be in Colorado. He'd rather spend his time out where the sky looks like a pearl after the rain. Once again I see him walking, once again I hear him talking to the stars he makes and asking them the bus fare. I guess he'd rather be in Colorado. He'd rather play his banjo in the morning when the moon is scarcely gone. In the dawn the subway's coming, in the dawn I hear him humming some old song he wrote of love in Boulder Canyon. I guess he'd rather be in Colorado. I guess he'd rather be in Colorado. I guess he'd rather work out where the only thing you earn is what you spend. In the end up in his office, in the end a quiet cough is all he has to show, he lives in New York City. I guess he'd rather be in Colorado. |

If I had my druthers I'd go fishing, find myself a lake and a lazy day. If I had my druthers I'd quit wishing, get off the old caboose get on my way. Give me whole lots of laughter, great big barrels of fun, night time full of romance, a daytime full of sun. If I had my druthers I'd go flying, looking for the things I'd like to see. If I had my druthers I'd be trying, trying, the only way to be what I can be. Give me somebody to love me, make me feel like the only one, something that's worth doing, Lord, I feel good when it's well done. If I had my druthers I'd go sailing, catch me camping out on the open sea. If I had my druthers I'd be singing, just how good this good life feels to me, feels so good. You just need someone to talk to, something you can share. You don't need no reason for living, Lord, it's already there, yes it is. Woooo, woooo, yeah. Makes me giggle, can't sit down. I'm going fishing. |

He was born in the Bitteroot Valley In the early morning rain Wild geese over the water Headin' north and home again Bringin' a warm wind from the south Bringin' the first taste of the spring His mother took him to her breast And softly she did sing CHORUS: Oh Montana, give this child a home Give him the love of a good family And a woman of his own Give him a fire in his heart Give him a light in his eyes Give him the wild wind for a brother And the wild Montana Skies His mother died that summer And he never learned to cry He never knew his father And he never did ask why He never knew the answers That would make an easy way But he learned to know the wilderness And to be a man that way His mother's brother took him in To his family and his home Gave him a hand that he could lean on And a strength to call his own And he learned to be a farmer And he learned to love the land And he learned to read the seasons And he learned to make a stand CHORUS On the eve of his 2lst birthday He set out on his own He was 30 years and runnin' When he found his way back home Ridin' a storm across the mountains And an aching in his heart Said he came to turn the pages And to make a brand new start Now he never told a story Of the time that he was gone Some say he was a lawyer Some say he was a John There was somethin' in the city That he said he couldn't breathe And there was somethin' in the country That he said he couldn't leave CHORUS Now some say he was crazy And they're glad that he is gone But some of us will miss him And we'll try to carry on Giving a voice to the forest Giving a voice to the dawn Giving a voice to the wilderness And the land that he lived on |

Where the walker runs down to the Carson Valley Plain There lived a maiden, Darcy Farrow was her name The daughter of old Dundee and a fair one was she The sweetest flower that bloomed o'er the range Her voice was as sweet as the sugar candy Her touch was as soft as a bed of goose down Her eyes shone bright like the pretty lights That shine in the night out of Yerrington town She was courted by Young Vandamere A fine lad was he as I am to hear He gave her silver rings and lacy things And she promised to wed before the snows came that year But her pony did stumble and she did fall Her dyin' touched the hearts of us one and all Young Vandy in his pain put a bullet through his brain And we buried them together as the snows began to fall They sing of Darcy Farrow where the Truckee runs through They sing of her beauty in Virginia City too At dusky sundown to her name they drink a round and to young Vandy whose love was true |

[i] Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl Nighttime would find me in Rosa's cantina Music would play and Felina would whirl [i] Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina Wicked and evil while casting a spell My love was deep for this Mexican maiden I was in love but in vain I could tell [ii] One night a wild young cowboy came in Wild as the West Texas wind Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing With wicked Felina, the girl that I loved [iii] So in anger I challenged his right for the love of this maiden Down went his hand for the gun that he wore My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor [i] Just for a moment I stood there in silence Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there I had but one chance, and that was to run [ii] Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran Out where the horses were tied I caught a good one, it looked like it could run Up on its back and away I did ride [iii] Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso Out to the badlands of New Mexico [i] Back in El Paso my life would be worthless Everything's gone in life, nothing is left It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden My love is stronger than my fear of death [ii] I saddled up and away I did go Riding alone in the dark Maybe tomorrow a bullet will find me Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart I can see Rosa's cantina below My love is strong and it pushes me onward Down off the hill to Felina I go [i] Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys Off to my left ride a dozen or more Shouting and shooting, I can't let them catch me I have to make it to Rosa's back door [ii] Something is dreadfully wrong, for I feel A deep burning pain in my side I'm getting weary, unable to ride [iii] But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle I feel the bullet go deep in my chest [i] From out of nowhere Felina has found me Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for One little kiss, then Felina goodbye. |

I often have wandered in deep contemplation It seems that the mind runs wild when you're all alone The way that it could be The ways that it should be Things I'd do differently if I could do them again I've always loved spring time, the passing of winter The green of the new leaves and life goin' on The promise of morning The long days of summer Warm nights of loving her beneath the bright stars I'm just an old cowboy from high Colorado Too old to ride anymore, too blind to see I sleep in the city now Away from my mountains Away from the cabin we always called home I dream I left there On an old Palomino Whispering Jesse rode right by my side I long to hold her To hear her soft breathing The touch of her cool hands on my fevered brow Whispering Jesse still rides in the mountains Still sings in the canyons Still lives in my heart |

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 |

Spring is alive In Carolina Deep in the forest Where the foxfire glows High on a mountain Down in a holler Thunder and lightning So it goes Over a hundred years ago We came to Carolina Far across the water It's a long hard road With little more than courage We came seeking independance A little less than nothin Is a heavy load From the heather to the highlands We have found the Smokey Mountains Hard work and simple ways And life is good life is good Spring is alive In Carolina Deep in the forest Where the foxfire glows High on a mountain Down in a holler Thunder and lightning So it goes You Are You are very morning sunrise You are every rain You are every peal of laughter You are every cry of pain You are all the summer flowers You are all the falling leaves You are everyone rejoicind You are everyone who grieves You are all my unknown secrets You are all my hidden fears You are known in lovers' kisses You are seen in childhood tears You are where the stars are shining You are where the rainbow ends You are why the war is over You are how the peace begins Whisper the Wind Whisper the wind over the water Whisper the wind all through the night Whisper the wind along the canyon Whisper the wind into the light Whisper the wind Brothers and sisters Whisper the wind All the same Whisper the wind Love one another Whisper the wind Your precious name |

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 burning; supper's on the stove but it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm. Chorus: Hey, it's good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend Yes, 'n, hey it's good to be back home again After all the news to tell him: how's 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. Chorus Bridge: And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down and feel your fingers feather soft up-on 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 burning and supper on the stove. And the light in your eyes that makes me warm |

When I was a little bitty boy just up offa the floor We used to go down to grandma's house every month end or so We'd have chicken pie, country ham, homemade butter on the bread But the best darn thing about grandma's house Was the great big feather bed CHORUS: It was nine feet high and six feet wide and soft as a downy chick It was made from the feathers of fourty 'leven geese took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick I could hold eight kids and four hound dogs and a piggy we stole from the shed We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on grandma's feather bed. After supper we'd sit around the fire, the old folks'd spit and chew Pa would talk about the farm and the war and granny'd sing a ballad or two. I'd sit and listen and watch the fire till the cobwebs filled my head Next thing I'd know I'd wake up in the morning in the middle of the old feather bed. CHORUS Well, I love my ma, I love my pa, I love granny and grandpa too I've been fishin' with my uncles, wrestled with my cousins, I even kissed Aunt Lou (oo!) But if I ever had to make a choice I guess it oughta be said I trade them all plus the gal down the road for that great big feather bed Yes I trade them all plus the gal down the road (mumble: "well maybe not the gal down the road") CHORUS |

I caught a ride on the dreamland express last night I was sailing on an ocean of blue And right there by my side much to my surprise was you. I said, come on over here, baby, let me look in your eyes Let me see the very heart of you And I couldn't believe it, to conceive that my dream would come true. Cause you said, hey there sweet daddy, everything is all right For miles there's not a telephone line. There's not a soul to disturb us, don't be nervous Just come and be mine CHORUS You said, let me be the end of your rainbow Let me be the stars up above Let me be the one that you long for, darling Let me be the one that you love oh oh Let me be the one that you love. And now it's four in the mornin', honey I can't sleep. I can't seem to get you out of my mind I keep tossin' and turnin', yearnin' for the sun to shine I'd like to send you a ticket on the Dreamland Express, And take you far away with me I've got a vision of heaven and you livin' there with me. CHORUS Honey, let me be the end of your rainbow Let me be the stars up above Let me be the one that you long for, darling Let me be the one that you love oh oh Let me be the one that you love. |

It's cold here in the city It always seems that way And I've been thinking about you almost everyday Thinking about the good times Thinking about the rain Thinking about how bad it feels alone again I'm sorry for the way things are in China I'm sorry things ain't what they used to be But more than anything else I'm sorry for myself 'Cause you're not here with me Our friends all ask about you I say you're doing fine And I expect to hear from you almost anytime But they all know I'm crying And I can't sleep at night They all know I'm dying down deep inside I'm sorry for all the lies I told you I'm sorry for the things I didn't say But more than anything else I'm sorry for myself I can't believe you went away [break] I'm sorry if I took some things for granted I'm sorry for the chains I put on you But more than anything else I'm sorry for myself For living without you It's cold here in the city It always seems that way And I've been thinking about you almost everyday |

It's funny how you sound as if you're right next door When you're really half a world away I just can't seem to find the words I'm looking for To say the things that I want to say I can't remember when I felt so close to you It's almost more than I can bear And though I seem a half a million miles from you You are in my heart and living there (Chorus) And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see It's the same old sun up in the sky And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me Like the breezes here in old Shanghai There are lovers who walk hand in hand in the park And lovers who walk all alone There are lovers who lie unafraid in the dark And lovers who long for home Oh, I couldn't leave you even if I wanted to You're in my dreams and always near And especially when I sing the songs I wrote for you You are in my heart and living there And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see It's the same old sun up in the sky And your face in my dreams is like heaven to me Like the breezes here in old Shanghai Shanghai breezes cool and clearing evening's sweet caress Shanghai breezes soft and gentle remind me of your tenderness And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see It's the same old sun up in the sky And your love in my life is like heaven to me Like the breezes here in old Shanghai ...Just like the breezes here in old Shanghai |

Just to look in your eyes again, just to lay in your arms. Just to be the first one always there for you. Just to live in your laughter, just to sing in your heart. Just to be every one of your dreams come true. Just to sit by your window, just to touch in the night. Just to offer a prayer each day for you. Just to long for your kisses, just to dream of your sighs. Just to know that I'd give my life for you. For you, all the rest of my life, for you, all the rest of my life, for you alone, only for you. Just to wake up each morning, just to have you by my side. Just to know that you're never really far away. Just a reason for living, just to say I adore. Just to know that you're here in my heart to stay. For you, all the rest of my life, for you, all the rest of my life, for you alone, only for you. Just the words of a love song, just the beat of my heart. Just the pledge of my life, my love, for you. |

Oh, at first it was like heaven in your heart and in your arms
And paradise discovered in the sweetness of your charms Yes, and every day a miracle to awake and be with you And every night in your embrace another dream come true But castles sometimes crumble some rivers still run dry And fairy tales are witches tales when the truth becomes a lie And a pocket full of promises won't buy a diamond ring And every word you said to me just didn't mean a thing It's over now, you've gone too far, I can't take anymore Be careful now don't hurt yourself when you walk through that door I can hardly stand to look at you it makes me want to cry Get your tongue out of my mouth because I'm kissing you goodbye Now I suppose I'll never know why things turned out this way And why the one you love the most is the one you drove away Yes, and I suppose I'll never, ever really understand How I could think that you'd make me a happy married man So now I sit and contemplate the reason for it all The climb to heights of ecstasy the failure and the fall If a broken heart is purposeful it's in the lesson learned No matter what the reason is it hurts when you get burned Now I don't care, I don't think I'll ever love again Kemosabe used to me good and trusted friend But now it stands for therapy and all the tears I cry Get your tongue out of my mouth 'cause I'm kissing you goodbye Bye-bye, goodbye Get your tongue out of my mouth 'cause I'm kissing you goodbye |

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 |
