WRANGELL MOUNTAIN SONG
Words & Music by John Denver
Sunday and it's raining in Alaska
Seven days I haven't seen the sun
Flying bush, flying low along the shoreline
Doin' everything I can to make it home
I can't wait to see the Wrangell Mountains
I can't wait to do what I will do
Honey, did I never say
How time goes by so slowly
When I can't wait to get back home to you
Three years from the war and settled down now
I did my time and served my country well
In the freedom I defended
I fly beneath the North Star
And I just don't know a better way to feel
I can't wait to see the Wrangell Mountains
I can't wait to do what I will do
Honey, did I never say
How time goes by so slowly
When I can't wait to get back home to you
It's a quiet life out here among the mountains
In a cabin that was built with these two hands
McCarthy lies asleep beside the glacier
It's colder now, winter's in the air
If you think they're wild
It's just because they can't be broken
It's a strong and gentle people livin' there
I can't wait to see the Wrangell Mountains
I can't wait to do what I will do
Honey, did I never say
How time goes by so slowly
When I can't wait to get back home to you
