Rocky Mountain High [John Denver Cover] lyrics

He was born in the summer of his 27th year

Coming home to a place he'd never been before

Left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again

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

Keeps changing fast, but it don't last for long

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high

I've seen it raining fire in the sky

Shadows from the starlight is softer than a lullaby

Rocky Mountain high, Rocky Mountain high

He climbed cathedral mountains, saw silver clouds below

He saw everything as far as he can see

And they say that he got crazy once and tried to touch the sun

But he lost a friend, but kept his 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 raining fire in the sky

Talk to God and listen to a casual reply

Rocky Mountain high, Rocky Mountain high

Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still knows some fear

Of the simple things he cannot comprehend

Why they try to tear the mountains down and 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 poor man if he never saw an eagle fly

Rocky Mountain high, 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 (high, in Colorado)

Rocky Mountain high (high, in Colorado)

Rocky Mountain high (high, in Colorado)

Rocky Mountain high
