[00:11.51]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
