John Denver - Rocky Mountain High
Author And Composer: John and Mike Taylor
|
He was born in the summer
|
|
Of his twenty seventh year
|
|
Coming 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 hanging by a song
|
|
But the string's already broken
|
|
And he doesn't really care
|
|
It keeps changing fast
|
|
And it don't last for long
|
|
But the Colorado Rocky
|
|
Mountain high
|
|
I've seen it raining
|
|
Fire in the sky
|
|
The shadow from the starlight
|
|
Is softer than a lullaby
|
|
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
|
|
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
|
|
He climbed cathedral mountains
|
|
He saw silver clouds below
|
|
He saw everything as far as
|
|
You can see
|
|
And they say that he got crazy once
|
|
And he tried to touch the sun
|
|
And he lost a friend
|
|
But kept the 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 raining fire
|
|
In the sky
|
|
Talk to God and listen
|
|
To the casual reply
|
|
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
|
|
Rocky Mountain 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 raining fire
|
|
In the sky
|
|
I know he'd be a poorer man
|
|
if he never saw an eagle fly
|
|
Rocky Mountain high
|
|
And the Colorado Rocky
|
|
Mountain high
|
|
I've seen it raining fire
|
|
in the sky
|
|
Friends around the campfire
|
|
And everybody's high
|
|
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
|
|
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
