beautiful lyrics

I don't pick up song lyrics very well - some stand out, whereas others never really sink in and I just go by how they make me feel. And even when I try and focus, I can't pick them out including some Carpenters songs! Still, I have my favorites...

While listening to Music Choice just now, I came across the hit song by John Denver, Rocky Mountain High, and I was reminded of one of my favorite lyrics and the only line that really stands out from this song for me:

He was born in the summer of his 27th year,
coming home to a place he'd never been before.

It was years before I paid attention to the irony in those lyrics; aren't they beautiful?
