Groundwork [edit]

John Denver, so a relatively unknown musician in the Los Angeles folk scene of 23 years old, had written the song during a layover at Washington Airport in 1966.

In one of BBC Radio specials, Denver said near the vocal:

This is a very personal and very special song for me. It doesn't conjure upwardly Boeing 707s or 747s for me as much as it does the simple scenes of leaving. Numberless packed and continuing past the front door, taxi pulling up in the early forenoon hours, the sound of a door closing behind yous, and the thought of leaving someone that you lot care for very much. I was fortunate to take Peter, Paul and Mary record it and take information technology go a hit, just information technology still strikes a lone and anguished chord in me, because the separation still continues, although not so long and non and so often nowadays.[4]
