作词: Joe Henry 作曲: John Denver
Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me
Tell the story that you told sailors drinking tea
Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind
Pegasus and flying fish woodsmen made of tin
A kid knows what he wants to be before he's nine or ten
Cowboys, clowns, and men of war someone else's friend
Nine grows into big boys' pants and then to scars and pain
Twenty's fast and hard as nails doesn't come again
There's days to fall and days to rise days for making haste
Days for seeking out yourself no days you can waste
Nighttimes filled with love so good it aches to rest it down
Endless hallways dark with sleep rivers dark with sound
Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me
Tell the story that you told sailors drinking tea
Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind
Pegasus and flying fish woodsmen made of tin
Children climbing on my arms pigeons on my head
Get thee up my little man dream a dream instead
Dream a dream of rocking chairs and flying through the night
Then dream until the morning's gone turned the dark to light
Then come and get your daddy if he hasn't blown away
Rock him in your children's hands 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
Peaceful valleys, animals and children asking me
Tell the story that you told sailors drinking tea
Tell the one about the man who saddled up the wind
Pegasus and flying fish woodsmen made of tin
Pegasus and flying fish woodsmen made of tin
