昨天在量販店買了一張John Denver 的專輯,第一首歌居然是leaving on a jet plane。這首歌聽了三十多年竟沒注意是他唱紅的,想起來有點好笑,只記得原唱是Peter, Paul and Mary 。但他卻沒想到三十年後 (1997年10月12日)他駕駛自己的座機墜毀而死 應驗了歌詞。

這首歌流行時,正在國外唸研究所,有位新來的老馬最喜歡拿著吉他邊彈邊唱:
Leaving On A Jet Plane
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking ,it's early morning
The taxi's waiting. He's blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
* So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
當他唱到
cause Im leavin on a jet plane
Dont know when Ill be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
