John Denver Lyrics
"How Can I Leave You Again"

In a spaceship over the mountain
Chasing rainbows in the setting sun
Leaving heart and home for the city of angels
I feel my life is undone

There are pathways winding below me
In pleasure I've gone where they go
In the quiet stillness I can hear symphonies
The loveliest music I know

How can I leave you again
I must be clear out of my mind
Lost in a storm I've gone blind
Oh how can I leave you again

Oh, it's been a long time since I've listened
Still longer since I've walked with you
For the first time I know what I'm missing
Some answers are no longer true

So I question the course that I follow
I'm doubtful deep in despair
My heart is filled with impossible notions
Can it be you no longer care?

Still, I ride on the wings of a high wind
Blowing steady and strong behind me
As the clouds surrender my fate is for certain
I'm a sailor who runs to the sea

How can I leave you again
I must be clear out of my mind
Lost in a storm I've gone blind
Oh how can I leave you again

How can I leave you again
I must be clear out of my mind
I'm lost in a storm I've gone blind
Oh how can I leave you again

Tradewinds
Riding on a tradewind
Filling my sails with a soft and southerly breeze
Living on the ocean blue
Dreaming of the islands
Wrapping myself in a glow of the tropical moon
I never shiver when the sun goes down
All the earth she sings to me
Every shallow, every tree
Surely my love shining like the sea
I can make you happy
If I can I'll take you away on a wave in my arms.
Never leave you on the edge all alone
If you feel like dancing,
Rolling like the water across my sleepless night
Making me a peaceful place
All my life to be with you
All I ever want to do
Knowing you are feeling that way too
Distant thunder, heavy seas
Rocky Mountain memories
Surely I was lost 'til I found these
