Stonehaven Sunset Lyrics - John Denver

This song appears on three albums, and was first released on The Flower That Shattered The Stone Album, and has also been released on the Stonehaven Sunrise and The John Denver Collection - Calypso Albums. 

Stonehaven Sunset the water's on fire 

My true love of singing, we kiss and conspire 

Sing a song for the ocean a song for the sky 

A song for tomorrow love sweet by and by 

For the child who is coming and for dreams that come true 

Sing a song for each other for me and for you 

Sing a song for all lovers all the stars in the skies 

Sing of Stonehaven water home, Stonehaven Sunrise 

Stonehaven Sunset the desert's on fire 

Christ on the cross again burns with desire 

They are shooting at random though they aim at us all 

It's the children who rise up and children who fall 

All the angels are weeping the sweetest of tears 

Fall like rivers of mercy to wash all our fears 

Sing a song for Old Glory and a future that dies 

Sing of Stonehaven desert home, Stonehaven Sunrise

Stonehaven Sunset the city's on fire 

The soldiers just smile and say this gun's for hire 

Give in to the beast boy give in to the thrill 

It's just human nature to hunt and to kill 

We all die together and yet somehow alone 

Just together we have memories and many are gone 

Singing songs for old soldiers a chorus of sighs 

Sing of Stonehaven city home, Stonehaven Sunrise 

Stonehaven Sunset the mountain's on fire 

My spirit is lifted, rising higher and higher 

All the prophets are laughing they say we told you so 

It's one thing to play guessing games, another to know 

For the needs of many are the sins of a few 

And the day is forthcoming when accounting is due 

Sing a song for sweet justice with a fire in her eyes 

Sing of Stonehaven mountain home, Stonehaven Sunrise

Sing a song for each other for me and for you 

Sing a song for all lovers all the stars in the skies
