Show Me The Road

John Denver was an avid lover of nature, the lyrical attachment is reflected in many of his inspirational songs. The following poem is inspired by his popular song “Take me home, country road”, as a tribute to his musical magnificence I lie at the fringe of the lonely night You don’t shine like a star in my sky Disappear behind the cloud of trance I’ve lost you, but you were mine once Sunburst dawn, show me the road Take me to her dew-drenched meadow Where my love shines like pearl Show me the road, sunburst dawn Like my desire sunrays mark fiery trajectory Furrow the blazing trail of my yearning I can’t trace the track of fading stars above They disappear like the flicker of your love Sunburst dawn, show me the road Take me to her dew-drenched meadow Where my love will shine like pearl Show me the road, sunburst dawn You walk away from my winter wasteland But you’ll find love not lost in the wilderness If you stand by my side at the sunrise show You’ll see the hued horizon set us aglow Sunburst dawn, show me the road Take me to her dew-drenched meadow Where my love will shine like pearl Show me the road, sunburst dawn Show me the road in sunburst dawn Show me the road in sunburst dawn
