John Denver:Rocky 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 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

It's the 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 (Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)

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 the memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams
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

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining 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)

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

In 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
The Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)

二十七岁的夏天他才开始新生
回到家乡，那是一个他从未去过的地方
他把昨天抛在身后，你可以说他获得了重生
你可以说他找到了一把能打开每扇门的钥匙

当他第一次来到大山他的生活还渺无目标
在路上沉醉于一首歌中
那纽带已经断裂，可他并不在乎
一切都在迅速改变，一切都不会久长

科罗拉多的高高落基山
我看到它在天空中喷撒着火焰
星光的影子轻柔胜过一首催眠曲
高高落基山（在科罗拉多）
高高落基山（在科罗拉多）

他爬上教堂山，看到山下白云漂浮
你能尽收视野的他都能看到
人们说有次他疯了，他想拥抱太阳
他失去了一个朋友但永存于记忆

现在他一言不发独自穿过森林趟过河流
在每一个脚步中寻找慰藉
他转而审视自己的内心想弄明白
山上清澈湛蓝的湖水为什么那么平静

科罗拉多的高高落基山
我看到它在天空中喷撒着火焰
你能和上帝谈心，不时聆听回答
高高落基山（在科罗拉多）
高高落基山（在科罗拉多）

现在他的生活充满了憧憬但他的心里仍然恐惧
有一件简单的事情他不能理解
为什么人们要劈开大山，直到把它分割成两半
人口渐众，满目疮痍

科罗拉多的高高落基山
我看到它在天空中喷撒着火焰
我知道它将变得更加贫乏如果不再看到山鹰飞翔
高高落基山
这就是科罗拉多的高高落基山
我看到它在天空中喷撒着火焰
朋友们围在篝火旁每个人尽情欢畅
高高落基山（在科罗拉多）
高高落基山（在科罗拉多）
高高落基山（在科罗拉多）
高高落基山（在科罗拉多）
高高落基山（在科罗拉多）
高高落基山（在科罗拉多）
