Almost heaven, west virginia Blue ridge mountains Shenandoah river - Life is old there Older than the trees Younger than the mountains Growing like a breeze 。。。
He was born in the summer of his 27th year Coming home to a place he’d never been before He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again You might say he found a key for every door 。。。
他有一段时间情绪低落,想写一首feeling-blue的歌,于是就有了这首 Sunshine on My Shoulders:
Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high 。。。
You fill up my senses Like a night in the forest Like the mountains in springtime Like a walk in the rain Like a storm in the desert Like a sleepy blue ocean You fill up my senses Come fill me again
Come let me love you Let me give my life to you Let me drown in your laughter Let me die in your arms Let me lay down beside you Let me always be with you Come let me love you Come love me again 。。。 (Annie’s Song)
Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me Did you think our time together was all gone Lady, you’ve been dreaming, Im as close as I can be I swear to you our time has just begun
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind I promise I will stay right here beside you Today our lives were joined, became entwined I wish you could know how much I love you
Lady, are you happy, do you feel the way I do Are there meanings that you‘ve never seen before Lady, my sweet lady, I just cant believe its true And its like I’ve never ever loved before 。。。
不多说了。这是我要唱给那谁听的。那谁,你听到了吗?哈哈!
终其一生 John 热爱西部生活,热爱他脚下的土地和那上面生活着的每个生灵。他的后半生全力投身于慈善事业,为保护环境和救济穷人做了很多工作。
他和不久前刚刚去世的 Steve Irwin 都对我们赖以生存的大自然有灼热的爱。Steve 整天通过与动物打交道传递他的爱;John却喜欢用歌声讴歌他脚下的土地。
巧的是他们俩最后都以大海为归宿。
九年前的秋天,一架 Long-EZ 私人小飞机由于燃料用完,象一只精疲力竭的雄鹰,一头扎进了北加州 Monterey Bay 外的大海。
