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

Desari, Nice to see you, I think John Denver had a lot of good songs. I am partial to Rocky Mountain high because we lived in Estes Park CO. which is the gateway to the Rockies. Everything in the song is so very true, as well as thought provoking, if you really listen/read the words. Have a good eve.

Cracker, So nice to see you! I will tell him that would asked about him, I talk to him alot. He is not responding very well. I am leaving here in about an hour to go and stay the night with him. I got 2 hours of sleep this time, but my son is up there with him now and he just called me and said the nurses brought in a chair that folds out. My son said it's comfortable, so perhaps I might get a little more sleep up there than what I have been getting. I hope he wakes up soon, they have cut back on keeping him sedated, so hopefully he will open his eyes soon. You have a good night, and thanks for stopping by.

Indian, Nice to see you, I will keep you informed as tomorrow I'll talk with the Dr again. Now on Friday he told me that part of what happened to Jim IS genetic. I will get with you guys sometime tomorrow afternoon, that's if things improve. Take care my friends.

Cracker, I'll try to rest at the hospital, although the odds are I get rest here on my couch tomorrow when I come back to get cleaned up and refresh a bit. Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate it very much.

This is a beautiful post, Crone. I love John Denver.......and when I think of his music, I think of someone who had the answers in life and was always so calm, serene and tranquil. Thanks for this beautiful post Crone! You and Shadow remain in my heart.
What great memories to share, Shadow! One of my favorite Denver songs was "Rhymes and Reasons"--that one has always been a great comfort--Thank you for the reminder of this gentle talented man!
Hi CM, I know exactly what you mean about him, a pessimist at heart and mind. I like most of his music! I just got home about an hour ago, and freshened up. Have a good day.

I'm glad you enjoyed this video, and he has so many songs that are really nice to listen to.
I like Rocky Mountain High too, I hope you are getting some rest at the hospital. My prayers and thoughts be with you and Shadow.
