rocky mountain september

when the skies are gray

and the wind is cold

i remember

how the snow was silver

and the leaves were gold when i left her

it was early mornin'

on a rocky mountain september. and she was gone

well now it's five a.m. an' i'm a hunnert an' ten miles from denver

an' the snow is silver an' the leaves are gold an' i miss her

'cause it's another mornin' on a another mountain september

an' i'm alone

yeah

we climbed the mountain together

an' we stood on top a' the world

but now i gotta remember it all. alone

when the fire is warm

an' the sun is cool

in november

when my heart is young

and my mind is old

i remember

an early mornin'

on a rocky mountain september. and she's gone

well now it's fall again an' i'm a thousand miles from nowhere

an' i can can hear her voice an' i see her smile an' i miss her

an' it's another mornin' on another mountain september

an' i'm alone

yeah

we climbed the mountain together

an' we stood on top a' the world

but now i gotta try to remember it all. alone
