Rocky Mountain High lyrics by John Denver
=======================Song Title: ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH
Artist: JOHN DENVER
Composers: JOHN DENVER
=======================
He was born in the summer
of his twenty~seventh year
Comin' home to a place
he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him
Might say he's 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
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
And you can talk to God and
listen to the casual reply
Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high
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
bring in a couple more
More people
more scars on 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
Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire
and everybody's high
Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high
