Текст пісні
She was born in the summer of her 27th year
Comin' home to a place she'd never been before
She left yesterday behind her, you might say she's born again
You might say she found a key for every door
When she first came to the mountains, her life was far away
On a road and hangin' by a song
But the string's already broken and she doesn't really care
Changin' fast and it don't last for long
It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Shadows from starlight soft as a lullaby
Rocky Mountain high
She climbed cathedral mountains, she saw silver clouds below
She saw everything as far as you can see
They say that she got crazy once and she tried to touch the sun
Lost a friend but kept the memory
Now she walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams
Seeking grace in every step she takes
Her sight is turned inside herself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Talk to God and listen to his casual reply
Rocky Mountain high
Her life is filled with wonder but her heart still knows the fear
Of simple things she cannot understand
Why they try to tear the mountains down then bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land
It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
I know she'd be a poor girl if she'd never seen an eagle fly
Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high
Rocky Mountain high
