How Can I Leave You Again — John Denver

In a space ship 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 and 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.
