Lyrics:
His spirit joined and so was formedTen thousand years agoBetween the swan and HerculesWhere even dark clouds glowTo live with grace, to ride the swellTo yet be strong of willTo love the wind, to learn it’s songAnd empty space to fillApollo taught me to rhymeOrpheus taught me to playAndromeda cast down her signAnd Vega lights my waySmoke rings in a galaxyAn endless flight through timeLyra gave her harp to himAnd left him free to climbA winter’s journey from the moonTo reach the summer sunTo rise again, to sing for youA song that’s yet unsungApollo taught me to rhymeOrpheus taught me to playAndromeda cast down her signAnd vega lights my wayHis spirit joined and so was formedTen thousand years agoBetween the swan and HerculesWhere even dark clouds glowTo live with grace, to ride the swellTo yet be strong of willTo love the wind, to learn her songAnd empty space to fillWords and Music by John Denver and Joe Henry
