Yellowstone, Coming Home

Yellow stone, Coming Home, also known as Yellowstone, is the last song written by the late John Denver. It hasn't been released on any album so far, but a tribute version is on the Almost Heaven: John Denver's America album.

Lyrics
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…

Owwwwwooooo Owwwwwooooo…

(Based on the version sung on September 28th, 1997 in Houston)

Trivia
Although John sang the song as an encore almost every concert after he wrote it in September 1997, Rumor has it that the encore song at the Corpus Christi concert (his last concert) is Calypso.

An incomplete homemade demo version of the song was broadcast on the documentary "Let This be a Voice".

The version recorded on September 28th, 1997 was chosen as the background music of the Yellowstone Project promo video.
