Lyrics

Rocky Mountain High

[Intro: Josiah Leming]

One, two, one, two, three, four

[Verse 1: Josiah Leming]

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

[Verse 2: Josiah Leming]

When he first came to the mountains, his home 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

[Chorus: Josiah Leming]

But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky

The shadow from the starlight is softеr than a lullaby

Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)

Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)

[Verse 3: David Simonett]

He climbed the cathеdral mountains, he saw the 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 the memory

[Verse 4: David Simonett & Josiah Leming]

Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests 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

[Chorus: David Simonett & Josiah Leming, David Simonett]

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky

Talk to God and listen to the casual reply

Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)

Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5: Josiah Leming]

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 put in a couple more

More people, more scars upon the land

[Bridge: David Simonett & Josiah Leming]

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky

Though he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly

[Outro]

Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)

Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)

Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)

Rocky Mountain high (High in Colorado)
