He was born in the summer of his 27th year |
| [00:17.69] |
Comin' home to a place he'd never been before |
| [00:22.19] |
|
| [00:23.58] |
He left yesterday behind him you might say he was born again |
| [00:29.45] |
You might say he found a key for every door |
| [00:34.15] |
|
| [00:35.67] |
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away |
| [00:41.26] |
On the road and hangin' by a song |
| [00:46.76] |
|
| [00:47.57] |
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care |
| [00:53.40] |
It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long |
| [00:58.34] |
|
| [00:59.45] |
But the Colorado rocky mountain high |
| [01:05.30] |
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky |
| [01:10.04] |
|
| [01:11.68] |
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye |
| [01:21.13] |
Rocky mountain high |
| [01:24.55] |
|
| [01:26.75] |
Rocky mountain high |
| [01:30.71] |
|
| [01:33.44] |
He climbed cathedral mountains he saw silver clouds below |
| [01:39.08] |
He saw everything as far as you can see |
| [01:43.95] |
|
| [01:44.94] |
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun |
| [01:50.85] |
And he lost a friend but kept his memory |
| [01:55.33] |
|
| [01:56.77] |
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forests and the streams |
| [02:02.30] |
Seeking grace in every step he takes |
| [02:07.51] |
|
| [02:08.54] |
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand |
| [02:14.34] |
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake |
| [02:19.26] |
|
| [02:20.33] |
And the Colorado rocky mountain high |
| [02:26.12] |
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky |
| [02:31.44] |
|
| [02:32.26] |
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply |
| [02:41.34] |
Rocky mountain high |
| [02:45.66] |
|
| [02:47.31] |
Rocky mountain high |
| [02:52.51] |
|
| [02:53.63] |
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear |
| [02:59.84] |
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend |
| [03:04.12] |
|
| [03:05.64] |
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more |
| [03:11.57] |
More people more scars upon the land |
| [03:15.99] |
|
| [03:17.52] |
And the Colorado rocky mountain high |
| [03:23.37] |
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky |
| [03:28.07] |
|
| [03:29.38] |
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly |
| [03:38.95] |
Rocky mountain high |
| [03:42.52] |
It's Colorado rocky mountain high |
| [03:48.35] |
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky |
| [03:52.92] |
|
| [03:54.57] |
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high |
| [04:03.11] |
|
| [04:03.65] |
Rocky mountain high |
| [04:07.28] |
|
| [04:09.55] |
Rocky mountain high |
| [04:15.32] |
Rocky mountain high |
| [04:19.46] |
|
| [04:21.16] |
Rocky mountain high |
| [04:26.95] |
Rocky mountain high |
| [04:32.69] |
Rocky mountain high |
