John Denver Lyrics
"River"

River
there are no stars in the city
Here there is no telephone in the trees
Beautiful days fall on the waters
And all I can do is write you a letter

River
It's cold here in the morning
Later, I can see it in your eyes
Wild and white we follow the canyon
quiet at night we stare at the skies

Leaving you now will never change me
Runnin' away will just change the view
All I can see is the highway

River
You'll carry me through the fire
Maybe you'll drown me in your arms
But if I die like that it won't be like dyin'
When I rise again the ashes are gone

Leaving you now will never change me
Runnin' away will just change the view
All I can see is the highway
All I can see is you
