John Denver live at Windstar Symposium - Wandering Soul (1995, RARE)

From Windstar Symposium "Choices For The Future" held in August 1995.
John Denver was singing "Wandering Soul". The piano player was Peter Kater.
Enjoy!


In this magic hour of softening light
The moments in between the day and the night
The instant when all shadows disappear
The distance in between the love and the fear

There's a longing deep within the wandering soul
It's like the half that understands it once was whole
Like the two who only dream of being one
Like the moon whose only light is in the sun

There's a danger in forever looking outside
You start to believe that all your prayers have been denied
And you forget the sound of your own name
And thus begins the suffering and the pain

I wanted an answer, I wanna know why
I wanna know is there heaven on Earth and peace inside
And I wanted a reason, I wanna know why
Can there never be heaven right here on earth and peace inside

Inside my heart
Deep in my soul
Within each part
And in the whole

There's a promise in the journeys of the mind
You begin to believe that there are miracles you will find
And that someday you'll remember who you are
The seed within a bright and shining star

That's like the flame that lives within a hungering heart
That only awaits a gift of love for it to spark
Into a fire that burns forever, endlessly
Like the river that can't help but meet the sea

In this magic hour between the dark and the dawn
In the space between the silence and the song
Suddenly the mystery is clear
That love is only letting go of fear

Love is the answer and love is the way
Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say
And love is the reason, love is the why
And love is in heaven right here on earth and peace inside

Inside your heart
Deep in your soul
Within each part
And in the whole

Love is the answer and love is the way
Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say
Love is the reason, love is the why
And love is in heaven right here on earth and peace inside

JD first performed this song at The Riverside Theater, April '92

Thanks for the kind information! I always thought that this song was premiered at this concert, but now I know I'm wrong. Do you have the recording of that concert? And was this song sung on 04-11-92 or 04-10-92?

[jhill2704]

@anythinglovecanbuy I do have Riverside Theater-Wis 4/11 on tape somewhere in one of my boxes-want a setlist? It is a pretty good sound recording by a fan club member I traded with from '92-96
