Shipmates And Cheyenne Lyrics by John Denver

Shipmates And Cheyenne Lyrics

    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
