| Verse One He was born in the
summer of his 27th year, coming home to a place he'd never been before. He
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, it keeps changin' fast, and it don't
last for long.
Chorus
It's a Colorado Rocky Mountain High, I've seen it raining fire in the
sky The shadows from the starlight are softer than a lullaby. Rocky
Mountain High, ...in Colorado.... Rocky Mountain High.
Verse Two
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below, saw
everything as far as you can see. And they say that he got crazy once and
that he tried to touch the sun, and he lost a friend, but kept the memory.
Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forest and the stream, seeking grace
in every step he takes, his sight is turned inside himself, to try and
understand, the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake.
Chorus
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain High, I've seen it raining fire in the
sky You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply. Rocky Mountain
High,
....in Colorado....
Rocky Mountain High.
Verse Three
Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still knows some fear, of
the simple things he can not comprehend. Why they try to tear the
mountains down to bring in a couple more. More people, more scars upon the
land.
Chorus
It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain High, I've seen it raining fire in the
sky I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an Eagle fly Rocky
mountain high It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain High, I've seen it raining
fire in the sky. Friends around the camp fire and everybody's high....
Rocky Mountain High, Rocky Mountain High, Rocky Mountain High, Rocky
Mountain High. |
