Rocky Mountain High - John Denver
He was born in the summer
of his 27th year Comin' home
to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him
you might say he was born again
You might say he found
a key for every door
When he first came to the
mountains his life was far away
On the road and hangin' by a song
But the string's already broken
and he doesn't really care
It keeps changin' fast
and it don't last for long
But the Colorado
Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight
is softer than a lullabye
Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high
He climbed cathedral mountains
he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything
as far as you can see
And they say he got crazy once
and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend
but kept his memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude
the forests and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside
himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear
blue mountain lake And the Colorado
Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin'
fire in the sky talk to God
and listen to the casual reply
Rocky Mountain high high Colorado
Rocky Mountain high high Colorado
Now his life is full
of wonder but his heart
still knows some fear
Of a simple thing
he cannot comprehend
Why they try to
tear the mountains down
to bring in a couple more
More people more scars upon
the land And the Colorado
Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man
if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky Mountain high
It's a Colorado
Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire
and everybody's high
Rocky Mountain high high Colorado
Rocky Mountain high high Colorado
Rocky Mountain high high Colorado
Rocky Mountain high high Colorado
Rocky Mountain high high Colorado
Rocky Mountain high high Colorad
