Lyrics to Rocky Mountain High by 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, 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 forest 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
- You can 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 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, Colorado
- Rocky mountain high, Colorado...
