SINGER: John Denver

SONG:Shipmates And Cheyenne

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
