Dan Fogelberg Quotes

Someone's been telling you stories
Someone's been telling you stories
And they just ain't true
No, they just ain't true
They just ain't true
Someone's been telling you stories]].

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.

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.

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.

The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say.
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away.<p>Just for a moment I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain.

Changing horses in the middle of a stream
Gets you wet and sometimes cold

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.

Love when you can
Cry when you have to...
Be who you must
That's a part of the plan
Await your arrival
With simple survival
And one day we'll all understand...
Your conscience awakes and you see your mistakes
And you wish someone would buy your confession
The days miss their mark and the night gets so dark

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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...

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.
