Love In Time lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
The world is filled with restless lovers
Ever waiting for another chance to try
To find what’s passed them by
The night is broken with the crying
Of the lost who wonder why
They’re never found
It’s such a sorry sound.
But Love in Time will come to all
Take your breath and break your fall
All of those who hunger will be fed.
And just when things are looking dark
Love will come and take your heart
And wake in you a promise long unsaid
The winds of fortune rarely grace
Those who try to force the pace
And will not see
That love can’t be had for free
Those who try to place a price on
The value of their sacrifice
Will suffer long
Theirs is the saddest sound
Ever waiting for another chance to try
To find what’s passed them by
The night is broken with the crying
Of the lost who wonder why
They’re never found
It’s such a sorry sound.
But Love in Time will come to all
Take your breath and break your fall
All of those who hunger will be fed.
And just when things are looking dark
Love will come and take your heart
And wake in you a promise long unsaid
The winds of fortune rarely grace
Those who try to force the pace
And will not see
That love can’t be had for free
Those who try to place a price on
The value of their sacrifice
Will suffer long
Theirs is the saddest sound
Soft Voice lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
There’s a soft voice
That follows me
Everywhere
Everywhere I go
And it whispers
So softly
This time I know
This time I know
Oh, it wasn’t a dream
That follows me
Everywhere.
I wonder
If it’s all right
To call
Call on you today
And I wonder
If it’s all right
To kiss...kiss your tears away
Oh, was it a dream
That followed me
Everywhere?
That follows me
Everywhere
Everywhere I go
And it whispers
So softly
This time I know
This time I know
Oh, it wasn’t a dream
That follows me
Everywhere.
I wonder
If it’s all right
To call
Call on you today
And I wonder
If it’s all right
To kiss...kiss your tears away
Oh, was it a dream
That followed me
Everywhere?
So Many Changes lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
Do you think that it’s wise
To be cursing the cloudy skies
Don’t come to me with your cries
When the sun’s shining in your eyes
Just zip your coat to the cold
And look again for that hand to hold
I’m sure you must have been told
There’s more than one way of growing old
And there are so many people
Who are caught in a bind
So many people are captives of time
So many changes are waiting in line
[repeat 1st verse]
To be cursing the cloudy skies
Don’t come to me with your cries
When the sun’s shining in your eyes
Just zip your coat to the cold
And look again for that hand to hold
I’m sure you must have been told
There’s more than one way of growing old
And there are so many people
Who are caught in a bind
So many people are captives of time
So many changes are waiting in line
[repeat 1st verse]
Come To The Harbor lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
Come to the harbor and dance with me, girl
Dance by the edge of the sea
The moon will be rising
The tide will be high
Oh, come let your fancy run free
Come to the harbor
And kick up your heels
Let’s dance ‘til the break of the dawn
The fiddlers will play us their jigs and their reels
The summer so soon will be gone
Come to the harbor and lay with me, girl
I sail with the turn of the tide
Come to the harbor and stay with me, girl
The sea is so deep and so wide
[repeat 1st verse]
Dance by the edge of the sea
The moon will be rising
The tide will be high
Oh, come let your fancy run free
Come to the harbor
And kick up your heels
Let’s dance ‘til the break of the dawn
The fiddlers will play us their jigs and their reels
The summer so soon will be gone
Come to the harbor and lay with me, girl
I sail with the turn of the tide
Come to the harbor and stay with me, girl
The sea is so deep and so wide
[repeat 1st verse]
A Growing Time lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
It’s a growing time
It’s the springtime of the year
It’s a growing time
The sun is moving near
It is yours and mine
The days are ours to share
Within our peaceful garden
And this growing time so fair
Caring quietly
For the garden in our care
It’s a joy to see
True love’s blossoms growing there
When you walk with me
A single shadow’s thrown
Across our peaceful garden
And this growing time we’ve known
Now the sheep are in the meadow
And the cows are in the corn
And if wishes were like horses we would ride
Like the light unto the shadow
And the blossom to the thorn
We’ve come to learn we flourish side by side
Side by side
It’s the springtime of the year
It’s a growing time
The sun is moving near
It is yours and mine
The days are ours to share
Within our peaceful garden
And this growing time so fair
Caring quietly
For the garden in our care
It’s a joy to see
True love’s blossoms growing there
When you walk with me
A single shadow’s thrown
Across our peaceful garden
And this growing time we’ve known
Now the sheep are in the meadow
And the cows are in the corn
And if wishes were like horses we would ride
Like the light unto the shadow
And the blossom to the thorn
We’ve come to learn we flourish side by side
Side by side
The Colors Of Eve lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
She never looks
And she never listens
Her heart only knows what it feels
And all that she is
And all that she isn’t
Her every movement reveals
All her bright moods
And all her dark tempers
She’s never the way she appears
She sometimes forgets
And sometimes remembers
And sometimes must laugh
Through the tears
Of lavender mornings
And gray afternoons
Sad when the day takes its leave
Nights of white passion
And deep shades of blue
These are the Colors of Eve
The shade on her eye
Like pale purple asters
Runs down her cheek when she cries
And the ways of her heart
No man may master
Even though many will try
The blush on her cheek
The gold on her fingers
Shine when the lady’s in love
But a strong gentle touch
And a sunset that lingers
Are the things that her
Dreams are made of
And Lavender mornings
And gray afternoons
Sad when the day takes its leave
Nights of white passion
And deep shades of blue
These are the Colors of Eve
Diamonds To Dust lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
Diamonds to Dust
Oh, Diamonds to Dust
Time can turn even
Diamonds to Dust
Love is a question
That few understand
It runs like a river
Between a woman and man
But its course can get twisted
And its bed can run dry
And our hearts become deserts
In the wink of an eye
Once there was love here
And once there was trust
Once it was honest
And open and just
Our love was a diamond
That grew between us
But time can turn even
Diamonds to Dust
[Chorus:]
Diamonds to Dust
Oh, Diamonds to Dust
Time can turn even
Diamonds to Dust
Time is a teacher
It’s kind and it’s cruel
It gives you the wisdom
To see you’re a fool
And it gives love and takes love
It hurts and it heals
And it never parts easy
With the truth it reveals
[Chorus]
Oh, Diamonds to Dust
Time can turn even
Diamonds to Dust
Love is a question
That few understand
It runs like a river
Between a woman and man
But its course can get twisted
And its bed can run dry
And our hearts become deserts
In the wink of an eye
Once there was love here
And once there was trust
Once it was honest
And open and just
Our love was a diamond
That grew between us
But time can turn even
Diamonds to Dust
[Chorus:]
Diamonds to Dust
Oh, Diamonds to Dust
Time can turn even
Diamonds to Dust
Time is a teacher
It’s kind and it’s cruel
It gives you the wisdom
To see you’re a fool
And it gives love and takes love
It hurts and it heals
And it never parts easy
With the truth it reveals
[Chorus]
The Nature Of The Game lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
Fools run
Where an angel fears to follow
We’ve come to a place no fool would go
Sparks fly
And the truth rings harsh and hollow
It’s the same old song
We’ve sung so long
It’s the only dance we know
Hard times
When the threads of love unravel
The arms stretch
But the hands don’t ever meet
True love is a rocky road to travel
You better get out of the kitchen
If you cannot stand the heat
Bad blood - hostile words get spoke in anger
Caught up in a game where no one wins
Our heads tend to disregard the dangers
While our hearts hang in the balance
And the wheel of fortune spins
Why must every heart I trust desert me
Why must it always end the same
Fate deals the last one down and dirty
It’s the hands you keep
That make you weep
But that’s The Nature of the Game
Cold eyes stare at you across the table
The stakes rise
With each moment you delay
Hang tough
If you still believe you’re able
Or else play your hand
The best you can
And get yourself away
Why does every heart
I trust desert me
Why must it always end the same
Fate deals the last one down and dirty
It’s the hands you fold
That make you old
That’s The Nature of the Game
It’s the hands you fold
That make you old
But that’s The Nature of the Game
It’s the hands you fold
That make you old
That’s The Nature of the Game
Where an angel fears to follow
We’ve come to a place no fool would go
Sparks fly
And the truth rings harsh and hollow
It’s the same old song
We’ve sung so long
It’s the only dance we know
Hard times
When the threads of love unravel
The arms stretch
But the hands don’t ever meet
True love is a rocky road to travel
You better get out of the kitchen
If you cannot stand the heat
Bad blood - hostile words get spoke in anger
Caught up in a game where no one wins
Our heads tend to disregard the dangers
While our hearts hang in the balance
And the wheel of fortune spins
Why must every heart I trust desert me
Why must it always end the same
Fate deals the last one down and dirty
It’s the hands you keep
That make you weep
But that’s The Nature of the Game
Cold eyes stare at you across the table
The stakes rise
With each moment you delay
Hang tough
If you still believe you’re able
Or else play your hand
The best you can
And get yourself away
Why does every heart
I trust desert me
Why must it always end the same
Fate deals the last one down and dirty
It’s the hands you fold
That make you old
That’s The Nature of the Game
It’s the hands you fold
That make you old
But that’s The Nature of the Game
It’s the hands you fold
That make you old
That’s The Nature of the Game
Sometimes A Song lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
Listen to me and I will try to
Sing you a song that makes you see
How much I long to be beside you
And how much you mean to me
Sometimes a song's the only way to
Show you my heart will never stray
So if I can't find words to tell you
I'll sing what I cannot say
Let me sing you a field full of waving flowers
I'll sing of the sun on the sea
Oh this is the way that you make me feel
Every time you smile at me
Will you only smile for me
At times it must seem I take for granted
All of the little things you do
Know in your heart I'm so enchanted
And still so in love with you
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Sometimes a song's the only way to
Show you my heart will never stray
So if I can't find words to tell you
I'll sing what I cannot say
Let me sing you a field full of waving flowers
I'll sing of the sun on the sea
Oh this is the way that you make me feel
Every time you smile at me
Will you only smile for me
Listen to me and I will try to
Sing you a song that makes you see
How much I long to be beside you
And how much you mean to me
Yes and how much you mean to me
Sing you a song that makes you see
How much I long to be beside you
And how much you mean to me
Sometimes a song's the only way to
Show you my heart will never stray
So if I can't find words to tell you
I'll sing what I cannot say
Let me sing you a field full of waving flowers
I'll sing of the sun on the sea
Oh this is the way that you make me feel
Every time you smile at me
Will you only smile for me
At times it must seem I take for granted
All of the little things you do
Know in your heart I'm so enchanted
And still so in love with you
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Sometimes a song's the only way to
Show you my heart will never stray
So if I can't find words to tell you
I'll sing what I cannot say
Let me sing you a field full of waving flowers
I'll sing of the sun on the sea
Oh this is the way that you make me feel
Every time you smile at me
Will you only smile for me
Listen to me and I will try to
Sing you a song that makes you see
How much I long to be beside you
And how much you mean to me
Yes and how much you mean to me
Days To Come lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
Tell me true do you still believe the prophets
That you found among the clouds of youthful skies
Broken dreams line your face like stormy weather
But you can’t stay dry forever in the rain
The truth should now be plain
You can’t go back again
Living through what you used to call romantic
Now your voice betrays the panic in your eyes
Love at last but you still can’t seem to buy it
Now you’re caught between the quiet and the cries
Oh, tears and hopeful lies
Make a sad disguise
All your life you’ve been chasing some uncertain
Now you find yourself deserting all you know
Though it feels like this chill won’t leave you ever
You know you can’t stay cold forever in the sun
Oh, raise your head and run, run, run
Through the Days To Come
That you found among the clouds of youthful skies
Broken dreams line your face like stormy weather
But you can’t stay dry forever in the rain
The truth should now be plain
You can’t go back again
Living through what you used to call romantic
Now your voice betrays the panic in your eyes
Love at last but you still can’t seem to buy it
Now you’re caught between the quiet and the cries
Oh, tears and hopeful lies
Make a sad disguise
All your life you’ve been chasing some uncertain
Now you find yourself deserting all you know
Though it feels like this chill won’t leave you ever
You know you can’t stay cold forever in the sun
Oh, raise your head and run, run, run
Through the Days To Come
Birds (originally by Neil Young) lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
Lover,
There will be another one
Who'll hover
Over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow
See the things
That never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
Nestled
In your wings my little one
This special
Morning brings another sun
Tomorrow
See the things
That never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
There will be another one
Who'll hover
Over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow
See the things
That never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
Nestled
In your wings my little one
This special
Morning brings another sun
Tomorrow
See the things
That never come
Today
When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
When You're Not Near Me lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
When you’re not near me
The time don’t seem to move as easy
When you’re not near me
The sun don’t seem to feel the same
The days don’t shine as brightly
And the nights don’t taste as sweet
And this soul of mine feels
lost and incomplete
When you’re not near me
When you’re not near me
I make the sound of one hand clapping
When you’re not near me
I leave no footprints in the sand
And I can find no solace
in the lonely silver sea
I’m only half as strong and half as free
When you’re not near me
When you’re not near me
Don’t be long my love
Oh, don’t be long my love
It won’t be long until
I hold you in my arms again
When you’re not near me
There is no laughter in my spirit
When you’re not near me
There is no spirit in my laugh
You are like a magnet to that iron part in me
And this longing never seems to let me be
When you’re not near me
When you’re not near me
The time don’t seem to move as easy
When you’re not near me
The sun don’t seem to feel the same
The days don’t shine as brightly
And the nights don’t taste as sweet
And this soul of mine feels
lost and incomplete
When you’re not near me
When you’re not near me
I make the sound of one hand clapping
When you’re not near me
I leave no footprints in the sand
And I can find no solace
in the lonely silver sea
I’m only half as strong and half as free
When you’re not near me
When you’re not near me
Don’t be long my love
Oh, don’t be long my love
It won’t be long until
I hold you in my arms again
When you’re not near me
There is no laughter in my spirit
When you’re not near me
There is no spirit in my laugh
You are like a magnet to that iron part in me
And this longing never seems to let me be
When you’re not near me
When you’re not near me
Full Circle lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
Funny how the circle turns around
First you’re up and then you’re down again
Though the circle takes what it may give
Each time around it makes it live again
Funny how the circle is a wheel
And it can steal someone who is a friend
Funny how the circle takes you flying
And if it’s right it brings it back again
Funny how the circle turns around
First you’re lost and then you’re found again
Though you always look for what you know
Each time around it makes it new again
Funny how the circle is a wheel
And it can steal someone who is a friend
Funny how the circle takes you flying
And if it’s right it brings it back again
Funny how the circle is a wheel
And it can steal someone who is a friend
Funny how the circle takes you flying
And if it’s right it brings it back again
First you’re up and then you’re down again
Though the circle takes what it may give
Each time around it makes it live again
Funny how the circle is a wheel
And it can steal someone who is a friend
Funny how the circle takes you flying
And if it’s right it brings it back again
Funny how the circle turns around
First you’re lost and then you’re found again
Though you always look for what you know
Each time around it makes it new again
Funny how the circle is a wheel
And it can steal someone who is a friend
Funny how the circle takes you flying
And if it’s right it brings it back again
Funny how the circle is a wheel
And it can steal someone who is a friend
Funny how the circle takes you flying
And if it’s right it brings it back again
Reason To Run lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
Pecos mountains in the fading light
Shadows stretching ‘til
they’re clean out of sight
How could anything that felt so right
At the same time feel so wrong
At the same time feel so wrong
All these questions, baby, all these fears
Kept me running through
the best of my years
I pray this storm inside me someday clears
But these scars run so damn deeply
But these scars run so damn deep in me
There’s a reason for everything, they say
That’s under the sun
For every reason to stay
I find a reason to run
I find a reason to run
Seems I’ve always had these friends of mine
The smoke, the bottle, and the fine white line
To keep me company through the crush of time
But these changes come so slowly
And these changes come so slow to me
There’s a reason for everything, they say
That’s under the sky
For every reason to love
There’s a reason to cry
There’s a reason for everything, they say
That’s under the sun
For every reason to stay
I find a reason to run
I find a reason to run
Shadows stretching ‘til
they’re clean out of sight
How could anything that felt so right
At the same time feel so wrong
At the same time feel so wrong
All these questions, baby, all these fears
Kept me running through
the best of my years
I pray this storm inside me someday clears
But these scars run so damn deeply
But these scars run so damn deep in me
There’s a reason for everything, they say
That’s under the sun
For every reason to stay
I find a reason to run
I find a reason to run
Seems I’ve always had these friends of mine
The smoke, the bottle, and the fine white line
To keep me company through the crush of time
But these changes come so slowly
And these changes come so slow to me
There’s a reason for everything, they say
That’s under the sky
For every reason to love
There’s a reason to cry
There’s a reason for everything, they say
That’s under the sun
For every reason to stay
I find a reason to run
I find a reason to run
Once In Love lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
Once in love you’ll always be a lover
Once is all it takes
You will give your heart up to another
Even if it breaks
You can say this fever’s sure to leave you
It’s bound to fade with time
And you can lie
but your heart just won’t believe you
Hearts just aren’t that blind
[Chorus:]
Some say love’s a game but she holds all the cards
The hands are never ours to choose
And once love has made her play
She never goes away
Win or lose
The well runs dry and it takes its time in filling
And sometimes seems so deep
Even though the flesh is often willing
The spirit gets so weak
[Chorus]
Once in love you’ll always be a lover
Bide your time ‘til then
If you should lose
there’ll always be another
So you can try again
You can try again
Once is all it takes
You will give your heart up to another
Even if it breaks
You can say this fever’s sure to leave you
It’s bound to fade with time
And you can lie
but your heart just won’t believe you
Hearts just aren’t that blind
[Chorus:]
Some say love’s a game but she holds all the cards
The hands are never ours to choose
And once love has made her play
She never goes away
Win or lose
The well runs dry and it takes its time in filling
And sometimes seems so deep
Even though the flesh is often willing
The spirit gets so weak
[Chorus]
Once in love you’ll always be a lover
Bide your time ‘til then
If you should lose
there’ll always be another
So you can try again
You can try again
Whispers In The Wind lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
Like a wraith she ambles aimlessly
Through the mists along the shore
She wraps the foggy night around her
Like a warming shawl
And leaves wildflowers at my door
She comes to me when she needs company
And weaves her web around my soul
She comes to me to free those wild
Burning, passion fires that she cannot control
And by the morning light I know that she'll be gone
And then the lonely hours begin
And all she leaves behind to find her in the dawn
Are whispers in the wind
And in the flicker of the candlelight
She takes comfort in my touch
And then she pulls away and leaves
Before the candles die
Or before she feels too much
And by the morning light I know that she'll be gone
And then the lonely hours begin
And all she leaves behind to find her in the dawn
Are whispers in the wind
Through the mists along the shore
She wraps the foggy night around her
Like a warming shawl
And leaves wildflowers at my door
She comes to me when she needs company
And weaves her web around my soul
She comes to me to free those wild
Burning, passion fires that she cannot control
And by the morning light I know that she'll be gone
And then the lonely hours begin
And all she leaves behind to find her in the dawn
Are whispers in the wind
And in the flicker of the candlelight
She takes comfort in my touch
And then she pulls away and leaves
Before the candles die
Or before she feels too much
And by the morning light I know that she'll be gone
And then the lonely hours begin
And all she leaves behind to find her in the dawn
Are whispers in the wind
This Heart lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
[Chorus:]
This heart - this heart
Has been beaten down and battered
This heart - this heart
Has been torn apart and shattered
But what's left of this heart of mine
I will lay down in you hands
'Cause in the light of your love this heart still stands
I'd been walking down a one way street
Filled with sorrow and confusion
Searching every single face I'd meet
For some heaven I could hold
And when I felt like I was running dry
And love was always gonna pass me by
You brought me out of the rain
And in from the cold
[Chorus]
I believe for every wayward soul
Crying out for its completion
There's another that will make it whole
That's just waiting to be found
And I confess that I was losing faith
And I'd all but given up the chase
When you took hold of my heart
And turned it around
[Chorus]
This heart - this heart
Has been beaten down and battered
This heart - this heart
Has been torn apart and shattered
But what's left of this heart of mine
I will lay down in you hands
'Cause in the light of your love this heart still stands
I'd been walking down a one way street
Filled with sorrow and confusion
Searching every single face I'd meet
For some heaven I could hold
And when I felt like I was running dry
And love was always gonna pass me by
You brought me out of the rain
And in from the cold
[Chorus]
I believe for every wayward soul
Crying out for its completion
There's another that will make it whole
That's just waiting to be found
And I confess that I was losing faith
And I'd all but given up the chase
When you took hold of my heart
And turned it around
[Chorus]
Reach Haven Postcard lyrics - Dan Fogelberg
The first breath of autumn
blows through the trees
And the nights are getting long
and growing colder
And the maples are turning
and the fields have gone brown
And the waves against the shore
make such a sad sound
Now there’s a meal on the table and a fire in the stove
And a candle burning brightly by the stairway
And a lamp in the window that shines out to sea
And I wish so much tonight that you were here with me
Now the moon is in danger of running aground
As she sweeps the tattered clouds above the island
And the stars lay like diamonds on the breast of the sea
And I wonder where you are and if you’re thinking of me
[Chorus:]
Now I’ve grown so accustomed
To having you near
And I miss you so madly
When you are not here
When I think how you love me
Oh, it brings me to tears
And wish so much tonight
that you were here with me
Oh, I wish so much tonight
that you were here with me
Well I dropped you a postcard today in the mail
With a picture of a sailing ship upon it
And I tried to say something that was clever and clear
But the only thing I wrote was that “I wish you were here”
[Chorus]
blows through the trees
And the nights are getting long
and growing colder
And the maples are turning
and the fields have gone brown
And the waves against the shore
make such a sad sound
Now there’s a meal on the table and a fire in the stove
And a candle burning brightly by the stairway
And a lamp in the window that shines out to sea
And I wish so much tonight that you were here with me
Now the moon is in danger of running aground
As she sweeps the tattered clouds above the island
And the stars lay like diamonds on the breast of the sea
And I wonder where you are and if you’re thinking of me
[Chorus:]
Now I’ve grown so accustomed
To having you near
And I miss you so madly
When you are not here
When I think how you love me
Oh, it brings me to tears
And wish so much tonight
that you were here with me
Oh, I wish so much tonight
that you were here with me
Well I dropped you a postcard today in the mail
With a picture of a sailing ship upon it
And I tried to say something that was clever and clear
But the only thing I wrote was that “I wish you were here”
[Chorus]
