John Denver:
On October 12, 1997 John Denver was killed
when the experimental plane he was
piloting crashed into the Monterey Bay.
His spirit lives on in his songs, in his contributions
to our mother earth, and in the hearts of all of
us fortunate enough to listen.
Calypso
by John Denver
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 living, in search of the answers of 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 shown us, the stories you tell Aye Calypso, I sing to your spirit, the men who have served you so long and so well
Hi dee ay-ee ooo doo-dle oh oo do do do do do doo-dle ay yee doo-dle ay ee
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 a 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
Hi dee ay-ee ooo doo-dle oh oo do do do do do doo-dle ay yee doo-dle ay ee
he dee Ay-ee Hi dee oh ooo hi dee ayee hi dee oh ooo
