Rocky Mountain Suite (Cold Nights in Canada) Songtext

von John Denver

Up in a meadow in Jasper, Alberta
Two men and four ponies on a long lonesome ride
To see the high country and learn of her people
The ways that they lived there, the ways that they died
Andone is a teacher and one a beginner
Just wanting to be there and wanting to know
And together they're trying to tell us a story
That should have been listened to long, long ago
How the life in the mountains is living in danger
From too many people, too many machines
And the time is upon us, today is forever
Tomorrow is just one of yesterday's dreams

Cold nights in Canada and icy blue winds
The man and the mountains are brothers again
Clear waters are laughing they sing to the sky
The Rockies are living they never will die

Up in a meadow in Jasper, Alberta
Two men and four ponies on a long lonesome ride

Mmm....
