John Denver - Pegasus Lyrics
This song was first released on the spirit album. it is the only album it has been released on.Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking meTell the story that you told of sailors drinking teaTell the one about the man who saddled up the windPegasus and flying fish and woodsmen made of tinA kid knows what he wants to be before hes nine or tenCowboys, clowns, and men of war and someone elses friendBut nine grows into big boys pants and then to scars and painTwentys fast and hard as nails but doesnt come againTheres days to fall and days to rise and days for making hasteDays for seeking out yourself but no days you can wasteNighttimes filled with love so good it aches to rest it downEndless hallways dark with sleep and rivers dark with soundPeaceful valleys, animals and children asking meTell the story that you told of sailors drinking teaTell the one about the man who saddled up the windPegasus and flying fish and woodsmen made of tinChildren climbing on my arms and pigeons on my headGet thee up my little man and dream a dream insteadDream a dream of rocking chairs and flying through the nightDream until the mornings gone and turned the dark to lightThen come and get your daddy if he hasnt blown awayRock him in your childrens hands and help him find his wayTake him to your hiding place and let him come insideHell never tell your secret, cross my heart and hope to diePeaceful valleys, animals and children asking meTell the story that you told of sailors drinking teaTell the one about the man who saddled up the windPegasus and flying fish and woodsmen made of tinWords by joe henry, music by john denver
