Shipmates and Cheyenne — текст песни (John Denver)

This song was first released on the Windsong album. It is the only album it has been released on.

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 ev`nings of blackberry wine
Falling like sand, the mem`ry 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

Words by Joe Henry, Music by John Denver
