[00:10.50] He was born in the summer of his 27th year
[00:16.50] Comin' home to a place he'd never been before
[00:23.50] He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
[00:28.50] You might say he found a key for every door
[00:33.50]
[00:34.50] When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
[00:40.50] On the road and hangin' by a song
[00:46.50] But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
[00:52.50] It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long
[00:56.50]
[00:58.50] But the Colorado rocky mountain high
[01:04.50] I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
[01:10.50] The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
[01:19.50] Rocky mountain high
[01:25.50] Rocky mountain high
[01:32.50] He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
[01:37.50] He saw everything as far as you can see
[01:43.50] And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
[01:49.50] And he lost a friend but kept his memory
[01:53.50]
[01:55.50] Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
[02:01.50] Seeking grace in every step he takes
[02:06.50] His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
[02:12.50] The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
[02:16.50]
[02:18.50] And the Colorado rocky mountain high
[02:24.50] I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
[02:30.50] You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
[02:39.50] Rocky mountain high
[02:45.50] Rocky mountain high
[02:52.50] Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
[02:57.50] Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
[03:03.50] Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
[03:09.50] More people, more scars upon the land
[03:13.50]
[03:15.50] And the Colorado rocky mountain high
[03:21.50] I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
[03:27.50] I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
[03:36.50] Rocky mountain high
[03:41.50] It's Colorado rocky mountain high
[03:46.50] I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
[03:52.50] Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
[04:01.50] Rocky mountain high
[04:07.50] Rocky mountain high
[04:13.50] Rocky mountain high
[04:19.50] Rocky mountain high
[04:24.50] Rocky mountain high
[04:30.50] Rocky mountain high
[04:36.50]
