Píseň: She Won't Let Me Fly Away
- Interpret:
- John Denver

- Aerie

The palm tree’s just a picture on a postcard The ocean’s just a memory in my dream Then a man comes a T.V. selling soapsuds To dirty up my rivers and my streams Like a mystery movie without an end When you think it’s over, it just begins It’s not always true that the good guy wins I been down so long that I got the bends And she won’t let me fly away She won’t let me fly away She won’t let me fly away She won’t let me fly away She won’t let me fly away
