Lyrics

[ti:Rocky Mountain High]
[ar:John Denver]
[00:11.817] He was born in the summer of his 27th year
[00:17.917] Comin'home to a place he'd never been before
[00:23.868] He left yesterday behind him,you might say he was born again
[00:29.819] You might say he found a key for every door
[00:35.819] When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
[00:41.669] On the road and hangin'by a song
[00:47.720] But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
[00:53.670] It keeps changin'fast and it don't last for long
[00:59.522] But the Colorado rocky mountain high
[01:05.222] I've seen it rainin'fire in the sky
[01:11.372] The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
[01:21.424] Rocky mountain high
[01:26.924] Rocky mountain high
[01:33.525] He climbed cathedral mountains,he saw silver clouds below
[01:39.476] He saw everything as far as you can see
[01:45.127] And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
[01:51.77] And he lost a friend but kept his memory
[01:56.727] Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
[02:02.778] Seeking grace in every step he takes
[02:08.528] His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
[02:14.478] The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
[02:19.979] And the Colorado rocky mountain high
[02:25.979] I've seen it rainin'fire in the sky
[02:31.830] You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
[02:41.883] Rocky mountain high
[02:47.384] Rocky mountain high
[02:53.884] Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
[02:59.835] Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
[03:05.686] Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
[03:11.538] More people,more scars upon the land
[03:17.960] And the Colorado rocky mountain high
[03:23.160] I've seen it rainin'fire in the sky
[03:29.111] I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
[03:38.862] Rocky mountain high
[03:42.512] It's Colorado rocky mountain high
[03:48.162] I've seen it rainin'fire in the sky
[03:54.513] Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
[04:03.913] Rocky mountain high
[04:09.514] Rocky mountain high
[04:15.415] Rocky mountain high
[04:21.15] Rocky mountain high
[04:26.916] Rocky mountain high
[04:32.668] Rocky mountain high
