The sun sinks behind me in the west
This is the time of day I love best
Salt breezes murmur through the coconut palm
As the colors change, they set a scene of tropic calm
Seagulls headed back to land
Over the mangrove and the salt pan
By a lazy creek with a six pack and a fishin' line
Win back some memories and losin' track of time
I head a little further north each year
Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind
Up where my troubles can all disappear
I head a little further north each year
Feeling the night wrap around me
Eases my mind's serenity
Ocean waves are hummin' on the outer reef
These balmy days and sultry nights are a welcome relief
I head a little further north each year
Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind
Up where my troubles can all disappear
I head a little further north each year
I head a little further north each year
Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind
Up where my troubles can all disappear
I head a little further north each year
I head a little further north each year
Leave the cities behind, out of sight out of mind
Up where my troubles can all disappear
I head a little further north each year

John Denver... Greatest Hits.
This video took me back to the times I used to drive 40 miles to college 3 times a week listening to John's music most of the time. This was always one of my favourite songs to drive to. It just flows along.
Thie Irish countryside is beautiful and I love the ending.

My goodness this wonderful man never ceases to amaze me, everytime I hear a new song I think how beautiful it is and what a beautiful soul he had. I listen to JD at work in my lunch break when we get the two days 'longer lunches' I never tire or will ever tire of his music.
