Mountain High

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
You might say he found the key, forever door
When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away
On the road, hanging by a
But the strings already broken, and he doesn’t really care
Keeps changing fast, it won’t last for long
Colorado, rocky mountain high
Seen it raining fire in the sky
Shadow from the starlight, softer than a lullaby
Rocky mountain high, Colorado
Rocky mountain high, Colorado
Rocky mountain high, Colorado
Rocky mountain high, Colorado
Went to see the mountains, saw silver clouds
Saw verything as far as you can see
They say that he got crazy onc and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend, kept her memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude in the forest and the streams
Seeking grace every step he takes
His side has turned inside himself to try and comprehend
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
Colorado, rocky mountain high
Seen it raining fire in the sky
Talk to god and listen, his casual reply
Rocky mountain high, Colorado
Rocky mountain high, Colorado
Rocky mountain high, Colorado
Rocky mountain high, Colorado
face full of wonder, his heart fear
All the simple things he cannot comprehend
When I tried to tear the mountains down, bring in a couple more
More people, more stars throughout the land
Colorado, rocky mountain high
Seen it raining fire in the sky
Know he’d be a poor man, if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high
Colorado, rocky mountain high
Seen it raining fire in the sky
hellfire in everybody’s eyes
Rocky mountain high, Colorado
Rocky mountain high, Colorado
Rocky mountain high, Colorado
Rocky mountain high, Colorado
Rocky mountain high
