The Eagle and the Hawk (02:09)
John Denver • Greatest Hits
I am the eagle, I live in high country
In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky
I am the hawk and there’s blood on my feathers
But time is still turning they soon will be dry
And all of those who see me, and all who believe in me
Share in the freedom I feel when I fly

Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops
Sail o’er the canyons and up to the stars
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
And all that we can be and not what we are

Fly Away (04:11)
John Denver • Greatest Hits
All of her days have gone soft and cloudy
All of her dreams have gone dry
All of her nights have gone sad and shady
She's gettin' ready to fly

Fly away (mmmm)
Fly away (mmmm...Fly away)

Life in the city can make you crazy
The sounds of the sand and the sea (I love the sea)
Life in a highrise can make you hungry
The things that you can't even see

Fly away (mmmm)
Fly away (mmmm...Fly away)

In this whole world there's nobody as lonely as she (Nobody as lonely as me)
There's nowhere to go and there's nowhere that she'd rather be (I'd rather be)

She's looking for lovers and children playing
She's looking for signs of the spring (Where is the spring?)
She listens for laughter and sounds of dancing
She listens for any old thing

Fly away (mmmm)
Fly away (mmmm...Fly away)

In this whole world there's nobody as lonely as she (There's nobody as lonely as me)
There's nowhere to go and there's nowhere that she'd rather be (I'd rather be)

All of her days have gone soft and cloudy
All of her dreams have gone dry (Where are my days?)
All of her nights have gone sad and shady
She's gettin' ready to fly

Fly away (mmmm)
Fly away (mmmm)
Fly away (mmmm...Fly away)

(Where are my days?)
(Where are my nights?)
(Where is the springtime?)
(I wanna fly...)
(I wanna fly...)
(I wanna fly...)

Rocky Mountain High (04:45)
John Denver • Greatest Hits
He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door

When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away
On the road and hanging by a song
But the strings already broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long.

It's Colorado Rocky Mountain High
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
The shadows from the starlight are softer than a lullaby
Rocky Mountain High (In Colorado)
Rocky Mountain High (High in Colorado)

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight is turned inside of himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain High
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
Talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky Mountain High (High in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain High (High in Colorado)

Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of the simple things he can not comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land

In the Colorado Rocky Mountain High
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high
The Colorado Rocky Mountain High
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
Rocky Mountain High (High in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain High (High in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain High (High in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain High (High in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain High (High in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain High (High in Colorado)

Calypso (03:37)
John Denver • Greatest Hits
To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and the living
In search of the answers to questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the growing
Part of beginning to understand

Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've taught us, the stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well

Like the dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you
To light up the darkness and show us the way
For though we are strangers in your silent world
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide and free as the wind swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be

Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well

Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well

My Sweet Lady (04:26)
John Denver • Greatest Hits
Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, you've been dreaming, I'm as close as I can be
And I swear to you our time has just begun

Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined, became entwined
I wish that you could know how much I love you

Lady, are you happy, do you feel the way I do
Are there meanings that you've never seen before
Lady, my sweet lady, I just can't believe it's true
And it's like I've never, ever loved before

(Chorus)

Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, my sweet lady, I'm as close as I can be
And I swear to you our time has just begun

It Amazes Me (02:38)
John Denver • Greatest Hits
This song appears on four albums, and was first released on the I Want To Live Album. It has been released on The Rocky Mountain Collection, The Country Roads Collection and the Country Classics Albums.

You came looking for the answers
To some questions on his mind
Seeking truth and understanding
In the hope that he would find
A way to better serve his brothers
And his sisters in the sun
Sharing all that he has given
Giving all to everyone

Come and listen to the story
Of a journey once begun
Of a people and their plenty
And their season in the sun
And how they gave themselves to symbols
And things that they could hold
Living lives in desperation
In the fear of letting go

It amazes me
And I know the wind will surely one day
Blow it all away
It amazes me
And I’m so very grateful that you made the world this way

For our plans have come together now
Where do we go from here
Will our differences divide us
Must we always live in fear
For there are things that we must move through
Some things to cast aside
But our father watches over us
Our mother will provide

It amazes me
And I know the wind will someday surely
Blow it all away
It amazes me
And I’m so very grateful that you made the world this way

It amazes me
It amazes me
It amazes me

This Old Guitar (02:51)
John Denver • Greatest Hits
This old guitar taught me to sing a lovesong,
showed me how to laugh and how to cry,
introduced me to some friends of mine,
and brightened up some days,
it helped me make it through some lonely nights,
oh, what a friend to have on a cold lonely night.

This old guitar gave me my lovely lady,
it opened up her eyes and ears to me,
it brought us close together,
I guess it broke her heart,
but it opened up the space for us to be,
what a lovely place, a lovely space to be.

This old guitar gave me my life my living,
and all the things I know I love to do,
to serenade the stars that shine
from a sunny mountain side,
most of all to sing my songs for you,
ooh, I love to sing my songs for you,
yes I do,Lord, I love to sing my songs for you.

Autograph (03:39)
John Denver • Greatest Hits
Here I am closing my eyes again
Trying so hard not to see
All the things that I see
Almost willing to lie again
I swear that it just isn’t so
It just isn’t me

We are never alone
Even though we’d like to be

The I go and open my eyes again
Love in your eyes is the thing
That I’d most like to see
I’d be willing to die again
To know of a place and a time
Where it always could be

To be always with you
And you always with me

This is my autograph
Here in the songs I sing
Here in my cry, in my laugh
Here in the love that I bring

To be always with you
And you always with me

Say a prayer and open your heart again
You are the love and the life
That we all need to see
Always willing to shine and then
Peace on this earth is the way
That it always can be

To be always with you
And you always with me

This is my autograph
Here in the songs I sing
Here in my cry, in my laugh
Here in the love that I bring

To be always with you
And you always with me
