John Denver Lyrics for Song: Pegasus
 Lyrics for Album: Spirits [1997]
 
 
 
 25628>CHORUS:
 
 Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me
 
 Tell the story that you told, of sailors drinking tea
 
 Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind
 
 Pegasus and flying fish and woodmen made of tin.
 
 A kid knows what he wants to be
 
 Before he's nine or ten
 
 Cowboys, clowns and men of war
 
 And someone else's friend
 
 But nine grows into big boy's pants
 
 And then to scars and pain
 
 Twenty's fast and hard as nails
 
 But doesn't come again.
 
 There's days to fall and days to rise
 
 And days for making haste
 
 Days for seeking out yourself
 
 But no days you can waste
 
 Night times filled with love so good
 
 It aches to rest it down
 
 Endless hallways dark with sleep
 
 And rivers dark with sound
 
 CHORUS
 
 Children climbing on my arms
 
 And pigeons on my head
 
 Get thee up my little man
 
 And dream a dream instead
 
 Dream a dream of rocking chairs
 
 And flying through the night
 
 Then dream until the morning's gone
 
 And turned the dark to light
 
 Then come and get your daddy
 
 If he hasn't blown away
 
 Rock him in your children's hands
 
 And help him find his way
 
 Take him to your hiding place
 
 And let him come inside
 
 He'll never tell your secret
 
 Cross my heart and hope to die.
 
 CHORUS
