DENVER, John


Country Roads

Almost heaven, West Virginia

Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah river

Life is old there, older than the trees

Younger than the mountains, grown' like a breeze

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain Momma

Take me home, country roads

All my memories, gather 'round her

Miner's lady, stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky

Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eyes

Country roads, take me home
.....
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour she calls me

Radio reminds me of my home far away

Drivin' down the road I get a feelin'

That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home

Annie's Song

You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,
like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain,
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.

Come let me love you, let me give my life to you,
let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms,
let me lay down beside you, let me always be with you.
Come let me love you, come love me again.

You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,
like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain,
like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses, come fill me again.


Calypso

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 living

In search of the answers to the 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 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

Aye Calypso the places you've been to
