This song was first released on the Windsong album. It is the only album it has been released on.
Shipmates and Cheyenne, raindrops and cryin¡¯
Haunt the dreams of an old, old man
Candles and church bells, laughter and farewells
Revolve in his thoughts like a wind
Stallions and blizzards, steelies and lizards
Adrift in the meadows of time
No sense of progression, of age or direction
No meter, no form, no rhyme
I¡¯ll hold me one
Just one rising sun
Long after daylight is gone
I¡¯ll hold me one
One more rising sun
Till my daylight and darkness is done
Kingdoms and cupboards, losers and lovers
And ev¡¯nings of blackberry wine
Falling like sand, the mem¡¯ry of hands
And kisses, and whispers and sighs
I¡¯ll hold me one
Just one rising sun
Till long after daylight is gone
I¡¯ll hold me one
One more rising sun
Till my daylight and darkness is done
I¡¯ll hold me one
One rising sun
One more rising sun
Till my daylight and darkness is done
Words by Joe Henry, Music by John Denver
