Dan Fogelberg Quotes

Too many hearts have been broken
Failing to trust what they feel.
But trust isn't something that's spoken
And love's never wrong when it's real.

An only child alone and wild
A cabinet maker's son.
His hands were meant for different work
And his heart was known to none --
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
And he gave to me a gift I know
I never can repay.

She says no
When she means yes
And what she wants
You know that I can't guess.
When we want more
You know we ask for less
Such is the language of love...

I can see you in the distance
And you're heading for a fall
Sinking deeper by the minute You're about to lose it all...
You better change
Before the sun goes down
You better leave
Before you are the last in town
You better raise
Your fortresses or tear them down... Tear them down!

As the Raven Flies Lyrics
I see the raven's made
Her nest in your eyes
She's got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And you'll go under from
The weight of her lies

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now.
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.

Now the wind is still
In a moment it will be raging
Now my soul is young
In a moment it will be aging
And high above the pines
I wrote several lines
And left them in a bottle
For you to find

Along the road your steps may stumble
Your thoughts may start to stray
But through it all a heart held humble
Levels and lights your way.

And it's run for the roses
As fast as you can
Your fate is delivered
Your moment's at hand
It's the chance of a lifetime
In a lifetime of chance
And it's high time you joined
In the dance
It's high time you joined
In the dance.

The leader of the band is tired
And his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument
And his song is in my soul --
My life has been a poor attempt
To imitate the man.
I'm just a living legacy
To the leader of the band.

Venturing further than the length of your sight
Out past the reach of your beginnings
There is a gamble in each proud act of flight
But the losses pale before the winnings
Circling and diving with this freedom you’ve found
Illusion blows apart and scatters
There is no darkness in this place that we're bound
Love is the only thing that matters

Looking back now toward the start
You said you thought I'd lost my path
And I asked if you still considered love an art
And you said "No, I think it's more a craft"
And I just turned and laughed
I just had to turn and laugh.

Gonna pull in the shutters on this heart of mine
Roll up the carpets and pull in the blinds
And retreat to the chambers that I left behind
In hopes there still may be love left to find
Still may be love left to find.

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew.
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens,
I've been in love with you.

There's a place in the world
For a gambler
There's a burden that only he can bear... And he sees. Oh, yes he sees...
There's a light in the depths
Of your darkness
There's a calm at the eye Of every storm
There's a light in the depths
Of your [[blindness|darkness}}
Let it shine
Oh, let it shine
