	Story Behind the Song I remember watching the special on TV that John Denver did. It was his last work on TV before he died. It was a great show. We got to see him with part of his family. There was Zach and Jessie Belle. We got to see so many of the things that he loved. Like fishing, exploring and singing, watching wild horses...even the process of writing his last song Yellowstone, Coming Home. One of those moments when the show rang out for me particularly, John had rappelled down a cliff face to view a young eagle. And he looked straight into the camera, and that’s when this little moment took place, the seed if you will, for this little song. He said, "If I can come back, It'll be as an eagle." That comment started working on me a little bit and I thought of what it would be like to be an eagle, what it would be like if John we're an eagle. And I reflected on his home in the mountains around Aspen, Colorado, how he loved flying, how he traveled to the ocean shores in California and around the world. How his spirit still lives. John was so eloquent in his writing. In the song he wrote for his own father after he had died, we're the words, "though the singer is silent, there still is the truth of the song". Those words speak of the legacy we leave behind. And I would like to make a clarification of how I feel about legacy. I think the only thing we leave behind is the body. And that part of us that is most vital and ever present, is our spirit. And I think the term legacy is exactly the "what’s so" inside each one of us. For me it’s a natural thing to be aware of his gifts that I still enjoy in my life. And I think that he too is aware of us and the gifts that we gave him. For me John lives on. Lyrics Oh the wind, it blows so cold here On this mountainside But still it feels like paradise, As I gaze across the sky Cause heaven is in the sky And the earth provides my home And the wind helps me reach The highest heights I've known It's like I'm dreaming my way home Well, I get this sense when I'm dreaming Like somethings gone before And I find myself a flying, From these highlands to the shore And I hear the distant songs, and I'm singing right along And the words tell of all the dreams I've dreamed before And I'm dreaming my way home Oh the higher we fly together The closer we'll be forever (Instrumental) You can see me in the morning, At the breaking of the dawn In the words you'll hear me singing In the setting of the sun And I can see you too In your dreams I'll come to you And our hearts will hold each other from now on And I'm dreaming my way home And I'm dreaming my way home And I'm dreaming my way home
