How Can I Leave

HOW CAN I LEAVE YOU AGAIN? (John Denver)

D Em A A7sus4

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

(Chorus)

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?

(Bridge)

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

Em C A A7sus

Some answers are no longer true..... so I

(Verse 2)

question the course that I follow

I'm doubtful, deep in despair

My heart is filled with 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... but (to chorus)
