A Mile High In Denver

(album: Down To Earth - 1970)

Sitting on a pocket full of hard earned wages
Looking at the world through magazine pages
I heard a lot about the mountains and the Colorado range
Made this stop for personal reasons
I didn't know I'd catch the changing of the seasons
Where winter dictates everything from frost to naked trees

I'm about a mile high in Denver
Where the rock meets timberline
I've walked this ground from town to town
Just to finally call it mine

Looking for the cloud with a Styrofoam lining
Hoping that the sun will keep on shining
Leading me to distant peace that waits so patiently
Need a little love to try some giving
Try a little love and then start living
Things I feared so long ago
When everything was wrong

I'm about a mile high in Denver
Where the rock meets timberline
I've walked this ground from town to town
Tonight I'll call it mine

Sitting on a pocket full of hard earned wages
Looking at the world through magazine pages
I heard a lot about the mountains and the Colorado range
Need a little time to try some living
Try a little love and then start giving
Things I feared so long ago
When everything was wrong
I'm about a mile high in Denver
Where the rock meets timberline
Where God and trees create the breeze
Tonight I'll call it mine
