John Denver - My Sweet Lady (Country Roads Collection)
Rocky Mountain High
John Denver
Words by John Denver; Music by John Denver and Mike Taylor
He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Comin' 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 a key for every door
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hangin' 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
But the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky mountain high
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land
And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high
It's Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
Rocky mountain high

I've never met John Denver, but the more I listen to his exquisite songs the more I wish I had met this wonderful, inspirational man!A man who cared for many things that should be important to us all! When I was little I remember the two most popular songs... "Annie's Song" and "Country Roads" but a wonderful man has shown me a lot of other truly beautiful songs that this gifted man has wrote! It may sound strange but I really miss John Denver and so wished that I could have gone to see him live

Thanks for posting this song - JD at his best and no coincidence that this is a Jimmy Webb song. Two absolute craftsmen and perfectionists who know how to write and sing the kind of song that makes us think, yes I've been there.

This number means a lot to me. I've lost for almost 15 years ago my dearest partner on a heartattack. Everytime I hesr this song I'll be remembered him and also by the plain crash when John him self passed away. It's a very beautiful number
