1. _ If Ever
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on dreamland express album, and has also been released on the country roads collection album.
I'd sing you a song, without a word
Still you would hear my tune
I'd give you a day, without a time
So it won't end too soon
Anything, i would do
And that really is my point of view
If ever, my darling in my life
I ever had a chance to love you
I'd build you a world made of the dream
That dances on your head
Take a rainbow with colours bright
To hang over your bed
Anything, i would do
And that really is my point of view
If ever, my darling in my life
I ever had a chance to love you
Fate's been waiting for the right time
To put us in each other's arms
But why should we sit and waste time
To start right now would do no harm
Give me a sign and i will show you
The magic of when i speak
Open your heart, let me come in
My love is yours to keep
Anything, i would do
And that really is my point of view
If ever, my darling in my life
I ever had a chance to love you
If i ever had a chance to love you
If i ever had a chance to love you

2. _ I'm In The Mood To Be Desired
This song was first released on the dreamland express album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Another day is over and i'm on my way home
Knowing you'll be waiting is all i need to know
'cause i'm in the mood to be desired
Wrap your arms around me
I'm in the mood
Let's build a fire
Till the embers retire, we'll be
Lost, in a world of ecstacy
Forget about my troubles
Forget about my woes
You're the one who comforts me
Whenever i feel low
'cause i'm in the mood to be desired
Wrap your arms around me
I'm in the mood
Let's build a fire
Till the embers retire, we'll be
Lost, in a world of ecstacy
You're everything i could imagine
Fillin' me up with such passion
Eternity is not long enough for you and me
'cause i'm in the mood to be desired
Wrap your arms around me
I'm in the mood
Let's build a fire
Till the embers retire, we'll be
Lost, in a world of ecstacy

3. _ Got My Heart Set On You
This song was first released on the dreamland express album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Ever since the day i met you
I feel like i'm walking on air
And lately i'm convinced, it's no coincidence
I run into into you everywhere
And though i've heard your love is taken
I gotta believe what's in your eyes
Would i be out of line if i suggested a time
And we got together one of these nights
Got my heart set on you
You're everything i've ever wanted
Got my heart set on you
Can't be anything but love
Baby i'm bettin' on it
I don't want to give you the wrong impression
I'm not the kind who rushes in
But baby every time i see you, before i even leave you
I can hardly wait to see you again
Got my heart set on you
You're everything i've ever wanted
Got my heart set on you
Can't be anything but love
Baby i'm bettin' on it
I don't mean to be coming on strong
Or taking everything for granted
But love is a thing that just comes along
You don't understand how it got out of hand
But you're in it right from the start
Got my heart set on you
You're everything i've ever wanted
Got my heart set on you
Can't be anything but love
Baby i'm bettin' on it

Oh, oh claudette
Oh, oh claudette

5. _ Trail Of Tears
This song was first released on the dreamland express album. it is the only album it has been released on.
No more beautiful moons may we spend on our land
In the north, the scarlet council talks of war
And the long knives have massacred the tribe and burned corn
We're not welcome in our homeland anymore
No more songs of the hunters on the baffalo plain
No more smoke from sacred fires touch these hills
And the numbers of the people grow fewer every mile
And our children will not leave the great spirit's ways
There will be a trail of tears
There will be a trail of pain
And jackson will have the mississippi and the twenty dollar bill
But for us the trail is all that will remain
On the streets of rapid city
On the road to wounded knee
There is whiskey for forgetting everything
But the old ones say there may be time learning from each other
The way that it had once been meant to be
There is still a trail of tears
There is still a trail of pain
And jackson has got the mississippi and the twenty dollar bill
But for us the trail of tears remains
And jackson has got the mississippi and the twenty dollar bill
But how long will the trail of tears remain

6. _ Don't Close Your Eyes, Tonight
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the dreamland express album, and has also been released on the the country roads collection album.
There's a tenderness that i feel, it's very real you see
I can feel your body stir so deep within
Let it be an out of love tonight completely
And let me ask of you one thing
Don't close your eyes tonight
Just look at me and see how many times i cried for you
Don't close your eyes tonight
Let it be me, not just a fantasy
Let it be me tonight
Well you can lie so close to someone and still feel alone
And though i heard you say you loved me so many times
While you give me love so beautiful and tender
Someone else is in your mind
Don't close your eyes tonight
Just look at me and see how many times i cried for you
Don't close your eyes tonight
Let it be me, not just a fantasy
Let it be me tonight
Sorry if i cry - feelings run so deep
Many is a time when i'll wake up and find
That i'm crying in my sleep
Look me in the eye, tell me what you see
I'm the one who loves you, i'm the one who needs you
Make this one for me
Don't close youe eyes tonight
Just look at me and see how many times i cried for you
Don't close your eyes tonight
Let it be me, not just a fantasy
Let it be me tonight

7. _ African Sunrise
This song was first released on the dreamland express album. it is the only album it has been released on.
African sunrise, shine on a brand new day
African sunrise, show us a brand new way
Give us a brand new morning
Show us forever beginning to stand on our own
African sunrise, smile on my african home
In this hour of quiet contemplation
The stillness of the dawning calms my mind
I face the day with heartfelt exaltation
The light is both a promise and a sign
In the darkness we have lost the son of our sister
Though the beauty of his spirit lingers still
This was a child of love, a child of laughter
Who cannot understand the way i feel
Is it not the sun that gives the seasons
Is it not the sun that brings the rain
Our throats are choled with dust, but we're still singing
Our song will not be silenced by the rain
All around the village i could hear the roosters crowing
There was a time it was like music to my ears
Now all i can hear is the sound of hungry babies crying
I pray for rain to wash away their tears
African sunrise, light of a brand new day
African sunrise, light of a brand new way
With one who will be our brother
And one who will be our partner and teach us to know
African sunrise, smile on my african home
African sunrise.....
African sunrise.....

8. _ The Harder They Fall
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the dreamland express album. it was also released as a live version on the wildlife concert album .
Aspen, colorado on a saturday night
Jesse wishes she was at home
Upset because her baby just ain't treatin' her right
So afraid of being alone
Said she heard some stories he's been runnin' around
Said somehow she knows it's all true
She says a breaking heart can make a terrible sound
She said she don't know what to do
Think about a bad time, can't get much worse
Think about a hard time, take it to the wall
This won't be the last time, sure ain't the first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
You might say she's caught between a rock and a hard place
You might say she just can't win
Some just can't recover from a slap in the face
Some just get right up and start all over again
Think about a bad time, can't get much worse
Think about a hard time, take it to the wall
This won't be the last time, sure ain't the first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
Think about a bad time, can't get much worse
Think about a hard time, take it to the wall
This won't be the last time, sure ain't the first
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
Aspen, colorado on a saturday night
Jesse wishes she was at home
She's mad because her baby just ain't treatin' her right
So afraid of being alone
So afraid of being alone
Nobody wants to be all alone
She don't want to be all alone
So afraid of being alone
We don't want to be all alone

I caught a ride on the dreamland express last night
I was sailing on an ocean of blue
And right there by my side, much to my surprise, was you
I said, come on over baby, let me look in your eyes
Let me see the very heart of you
And i couldn't believe it, or conceive that my dream would come true
Cause you said, hey there sweet daddy, everything is alright
You know for miles there's not a telephone line
There's not a soul to disturb us
Just come and be mine
You said, let me be the end of your rainbow
Let me be the stars up above
Let me be the one that you dream of baby
Let me be the one that you love, oh, oh
Let me be the one that you love
But now it's four in the mornin', i can't sleep
I can't get you out of my mind
I keep tossin' and turnin', i'm yearnin' for the sun to shine
I'd like to send you a ticket on the dreamland express
And take you far away with me
I've got a vision of heaven, you livin' there with me
Let me be the end of your rainbow
Let me be the stars up above
Let me be the one that you dream of baby
Let me be the one that you love, oh, oh
Let me be the one that you love
Llet me be the end of your rainbow
Let me be the stars up above
Let me be the one that you dream of baby
Let me be the one that you love, oh, oh
Let me be the one that you love

11. _ A Wild Heart Looking For Home
This song was first released on the dreamland express album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Life in the city gets all closed in
When you stand in a crowd all alone
Wishing that someone would call out your number
Hoping that someone might phone
Nights in the city can drive you crazy
There's so very much going on
Try to get quiet, you'll miss out on something
Like someone who's looking for
Someone who's looking...
There, i almost got caught again
Lost in the night all alone
With nowhere to hide, crying inside
A wild heart looking for home
Sleeping without you is always cold
The nights are so dark and so long
Dreaming of touching your face in the moonlight
Filling the silence with song
Living without you the days are endless
The clock winding steadily down
Imagining footsteps, your hand at the gatepost
The wind shuts the open door
The wind shuts the open...
There, i almost got caught again
Lost in the night all alone
With nowhere to hide, crying inside
A wild heart looking for home
The songbird, she trembles all day long
She sings as if her poor heart must break
Watching the freedom that flies past her window
Dreaming won't fit in a cage
Fly away songbird, the wind she loves you
Your prison is forsaken at last
Follow your dreaming, you're bound up to heaven
You're reaching for something more
Reaching for something...
There, i almost got caught again
Lost in the night all alone
With nowhere to hide, crying inside
A wild heart looking for home
There, i thought of your face again
A vision to have and to hold
My spirit still sings, i'm flying again
A wild heart looking for home
A wild heart looking for home
Words and music by john denver and joe henry
