John Denver - Whispering Jesse Lyrics
This song appears on six albums, and was first released on the higher ground album, and has also been released on the a portrait and the john denver collection - take me home, country roads albuT was rerecorded on the love again and a celebration of life albums. a live version also appears on the wildlife concert album.I often have wandered in deep contemplationIt seems that the mind runs wild when youre all aloneThe way that it could beThe way that it should beThings Id do differently if I could do them againIve always loved spring time, the passing of winterThe green of the new leaves and life goin onThe promise of morningThe long days of summerWarm nights of loving her beneath the bright starsIm just an old cowboy from high coloradoToo old to ride anymore, too blind to seeI sleep in the city nowAway from the mountainsAway from the cabin we always called homeI dream I left thereOn an old palominoWhispering jesse rode right by my sideI long to hold herTo hear her soft breathingThe touch of her cool hands on my fevered browWhispering jesse still rides in the mountainsStill sings in the canyonsStill lives in my heartWords and music by john denver
