Lyrics: How Can I Leave You Again
Album: Rocky Mountain Collection
Artist: John Denver
 

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 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 full of 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
