Di di di di di la la la la la la
In a spaceship over the mountains
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 Ive 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 Ive gone blind
Oh, how can I leave you again

Oh, its been a long time since Ive listened
Still longer since Ive walked with you
For the first time I know what Im missing
Some answers are no longer true

So I question the course that I follow
Im doubtful and deep in despair
My heart is full of impossible notions
Can it be you no longer care?

How can I leave you again
I must be clear out of my mind
Lost in a storm Ive gone blind
Oh, how can I leave you again

How can I leave you again
I must be clear out of my mind
Lost in a storm Ive gone blind
Oh, how can I leave you again

One of my top ten all time favourite songs. most by John Denver. Shame lyrics are not complete here, as I just found the site. :- "Still I ride on the winds/wheels of the wild winds ...?"

One of John Denvers' best

There is a whole verse missing. It comes in after the line "Can it be you no longer care". The verse is: "Still I ride on the wings of the 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".

There is also a slight mistake in one line. "My heart if full of impossible notions" should be "My heart is FILLED WITH impossible notions"

It's a nice song. But few lines are not included.
