One hopes it comes across better with music. It's kind of spare in ideas, but the performance can add a lot to the words, can't it? I'll have to go follow the links posted.

Yellowstong, Coming Home
(John Denver)

Owwwwwooooo
Owwwwwooooo ooooh
Owwwwwooooo
Owwwwwooooo...

Oh, the Yellowstone
Oh, the buffalo free
Oh, my brother the wolf
My lover the moon

Oh, the little ones
Oh, the joy that I feel
Oh, the love in my heart
For wilderness sounds

Owwwwwooooo
Owwwwwooooo ooooh
Owwwwwooooo
Owwwwwooooo...

Oh, the waterfalls
Oh, the river that runs
Oh, my brother the wind
My sister the sea

Oh, the ocean shore
Oh, the castles of stone
Oh, the mountain top
Calling to me

Owwwwwooooo
Owwwwwooooo ooooh
Coming home
Owwwwwooooo
Owwwwwooooo...

Returning
Forever returning
Coming home

Belonging
Forever belonging
Never alone

Oh, the mystery
Oh, the dreaming of dreams
Oh, my brother my home
My sister my home

Oh, the tenderness
Oh, the longing for love
Oh, the beautiful way
The sweet coming home

Owwwwwooooo
Owwwwwooooo ooooh
Owwwwwooooo
Owwwwwooooo...

Owwwwwooooo
Owwwwwooooo ooooh
Coming home
Owwwwwooooo
Owwwwwooooo...

Owwwwwooooo
Owwwwwooooo
Ooooooooooh oooh ooh oh...

Gargoyle - have you ever stopped to think about the wonderful things people will be saying about you after you are gone? Must be nice to live a life in judgement of others.

Here are the lyrics, as I was able to transcribe them from the home recording posted on YouTube:

Yellowstone: Coming Home
(John Denver)

Returning, forever returning, coming home.
Belonging, forever belonging, never alone.
Mystery, oh, the dreaming of dreams!
Oh, my brother, my home, my sister, my home,
Oh the tenderness, oh the longing for love,
Oh the beautiful waves, the sweet coming home!
Oh ooh, Oh ooh,* Come home
Oh ooh, oh ooh
oh ooh, oh ooh ooh ooh
(then wolf howls)

*like a melodic wolf howl

Ah yes ... what isn't there to like about a guy that bought the farm in Monteray, was considered all washed up and then goes from mountain high to sea-level in fifteen secounds flat. I mean what better way to thank God you are a country boy ... than in person?

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

Ohhhhh...I have to put this one on too, for the deep wisdom inside John's words, and for his open honesty about his life too.
