THE FOXFIRE SUITE

(John Denver)



Spring is Alive



Spring is alive

In Carolina

Deep in the forest

Where the foxfire glows

High on a mountain

Down in a holler

Thunder and lightning

So it goes



Over a hundred years ago

We came to Carolina

Far across the water

It's a long hard road



With little more than courage

We came seeking independance

A little less than nothin

Is a heavy load



From the heather to the highlands

We have found the Smokey Mountains

Hard work and simple ways

And life is good

life is good



Spring is alive

In Carolina

Deep in the forest

Where the foxfire glows

High on a mountain

Down in a holler

Thunder and lightning

So it goes





You Are



You are very morning sunrise

You are every rain

You are every peal of laughter

You are every cry of pain



You are all the summer flowers

You are all the falling leaves

You are everyone rejoicind

You are everyone who grieves



You are all my unknown secrets

You are all my hidden fears

You are known in lovers' kisses

You are seen in childhood tears



You are where the stars are shining

You are where the rainbow ends

You are why the war is over

You are how the peace begins





Whisper the Wind



Whisper the wind

over the water

Whisper the wind

all through the night

Whisper the wind

along the canyon

Whisper the wind

into the light



Whisper the wind

Brothers and sisters

Whisper the wind

All the same

Whisper the wind

Love one another

Whisper the wind

Your precious name
