Shipmates and Cheyenne

Shipmates and Cheyenne, raindrops and cryin' Haunt the dreams of an old, old man Candles and church bells, laughter and farewells Revolve in his thoughts like a wind Stallions and blizzards, steelies and lizards Adrift in the meadows of time No sense of progression, of age or direction No meter, no form, no rhyme I'll hold me one Just one rising sun Long after daylight is gone I'll hold me one One more rising sun Till my daylight and darkness is done Kingdoms and cupboards, losers and lovers And evenings of blackberry wine Falling like sand, the memory of hands And kisses, and whispers and sighs I'll hold me one Just one rising sun Till long after daylight is gone I'll hold me one One more rising sun Till my daylight and darkness is done I'll hold me one One rising sun One more rising sun Till my daylight and darkness is done --- Shipmates and Cheyenne - John Denver
