How can we not remember this one!?

Rocky Mountain High 

Song by

John Denver..........................................................................



He was born in the summer of his twenty-seventh 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 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 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 his memory.....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.....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).....Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing, he cannot comprehend
While 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......Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody's highRocky 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)

Police “Every breath you take”

Every breath you take.                                       Every move you make                                               Every hold you break                                              Every step you take.                                               I’ll be watching you  

Oh can’t you free                                                 This route for me                                               How my brake hand aches                                    With every fall you take                                            I’ll be watching you
