[00:16.73]He was born in the summer of his 27th year
[00:20.18]
[00:22.04]Comin' home to a place he'd never been before
[00:25.03]
[00:27.15]He left yesterday behind him you might say he was born again
[00:31.33]
[00:32.33]You might say he found a key for every door
[00:35.20]
[00:37.26]When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
[00:41.50]
[00:42.44]On the road and hangin' by a song
[00:45.75]
[00:47.50]But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
[00:51.55]
[00:53.11]It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long
[00:57.35]
[00:58.85]But the Colorado rocky mountain high
[01:00.97]
[01:03.91]I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
[01:06.65]
[01:09.08]The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
[01:12.83]
[01:17.76]Rocky mountain high
[01:18.57]
[01:23.00]Rocky mountain high
[01:23.81]
[01:28.74]He climbed cathedral mountains he saw silver clouds below
[01:32.30]
[01:34.05]He saw everything as far as you can see
[01:37.17]
[01:39.16]And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
[01:43.41]
[01:44.34]And he lost a friend but kept his memory
[01:46.90]
[01:49.65]Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
[01:53.39]
[01:54.51]Seeking grace in every step he takes
[01:56.88]
[01:59.88]His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
[02:03.13]
[02:05.25]The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
[02:07.87]
[02:09.43]And the Colorado rocky mountain high
[02:12.73]
[02:15.60]I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
[02:18.16]
[02:20.28]You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
[02:23.72]
[02:29.39]Rocky mountain high
[02:30.27]
[02:34.83]Rocky mountain high
[02:35.64]
[02:40.75]Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
[02:44.62]
[02:45.68]Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
[02:47.87]
[02:50.86]Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
[02:55.11]
[02:56.10]More people more scars upon the land
[02:58.66]
[03:01.59]And the Colorado rocky mountain high
[03:04.03]
[03:06.65]I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
[03:09.27]
[03:12.01]I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
[03:16.07]
[03:20.82]Rocky mountain high
[03:21.69]
[03:23.68]It's Colorado rocky mountain high
[03:25.93]
[03:28.80]I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
[03:31.67]
[03:34.48]Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
[03:36.79]
[03:42.65]Rocky mountain high
[03:43.47]
[03:47.77]Rocky mountain high
