Dan Fogelberg - All There Is - lyrics

In the eyes of the world your touch is like gold
Your reputations so cool and cruel and controlled
You count your money in your prison tower
Made of concrete, glass, and steel
Feeling cozy in the hollow warmth of another business deal
Youve climbed your way to the top but lately it seems
That theres a hole in the heart of the american dream
Sittin pretty in your trophy room with your shining souvenirs
That just remind you of the wasted time and the lateness of the years
Is that all, is that all there is
Is that all, there must be more than this
In the eyes of the world your touch is like gold
Your reputations so cool and cruel and controlled
In a moment it could all be gone in the twinkling of an eye
Then whats your pile of precious pride worth then
If youve never wondered why
Is that all, is that all there is
Is that all, there must be more than this
Is that all, is that all there is
Is that all, there must be more than this

Dan Fogelberg - A Voice For Peace - lyrics

You know that everybody has a voice
And how they use it is their own free choice
In your glory I will not rejoice
If you choose the ways of war
If you choose the ways of war
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
My country tis of thee, in God we trust
But how much longer will he shelter us
While we choose the ways of war
While the winds of war rage on
Let mine oh let my small voice be a voice for peace
Oh let mine oh let my small voice be a voice for peace
Oh let mine oh let my small voice be a voice for peace
Let it start here with me, oh let mine be a voice for peace
The good book tells us thou shalt not kill
The truth came shining and its shining still
But how much blood upon this earth must spill
Before we lay our weapons down
Let us lay our weapons down
Let mine oh let my small voice be a voice for peace
Oh let mine oh let my small voice be a voice for peace
Oh let mine oh let my small voice be a voice for peace
Let it start here with me, oh let mine be a voice for peace
And in the face of the beast, oh let mine be a voice
Until the breaths in me cease, oh let mine be a voice for peace
Let mine oh let my small voice be a voice for peace
Oh let mine oh let my small voice be a voice for peace
Oh let mine oh let my small voice be a voice for peace
Let it start here with me, oh let mine be a voice for peace
Raise your voice up, raise your voice up
Raise your voice up and sing for the promise

Dan Fogelberg - Beggar's Game - lyrics

I saw her first in a beggars game
Her eyes were wild but her
Laugh was tame
Those people knew her by
Another name
I knew that shed be mine
I knew that shed be mine.
She took me in on a winters night
The air was brittle and the
Moon was bright
My heart was heavy but her
Touch was light
Deep in the dance we wandered
Deep in my heart she fell.
The candles glistened and
The water gleamed
She drew a bath and the
Windows steamed
She looked like every woman
Ever dreamed
In the heart of a lonely man.
In the heart of a lonely man.
She took my blindness and she
Led me through
As night retreated and the
Daylight grew
And with the first rays of
The sun I knew
Love had another captive
Love had another fool.
The spell is broken and the
Chains fall free
Finally my heart has come home to me
It seems Ive waited an eternity.
(repeat first verse and chorus)

Dan Fogelberg - Below The Surface - lyrics

Some people tell you
Theyre trapped in the distance
And cant get what
They want most.
They throw a wall
And then call for assistance
And make no attempt to get close.
Oh, I think you should know
Youve got to go slow
Below the surface
And easy through the waves.
Slow below the surface
And easy through the waves.
Youre running so fast
That you cant find the past
And your future is wearing thin
Come from behind
Its a matter of time
til you see where youve always been
Oh, I think you should know
Youve got to go slow
Below the surface
And easy through the waves
Slow below the surface
And easy through the waves.
Some people tell you theyre in trapped in the distance
And cant get what they want most
They throw up a wall and then
Call for assistance
And make no attempt to get close.
Oh, I think you should know
Youve got to go slow
Below the surface
And easy through the waves
Slow below the surface
And easy through the waves.
You know that your
Life must have a purpose
You better make a stand
While you still can.

Dan Fogelberg - As The Raven Flies - lyrics

I see the ravens made
Her nest in your eyes
Shes got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And youll go under from
The weight of her lies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
Shell bring you stories
That just never sound true
Shell bring you secrets
That were never meant for you,
And just as you come round
Shell send you back through
Shes in love with you
Shes in love with you.
Darker, darker
Dont let her talk her way
Into you.
Lonely, lonely
You know shes only
No good for you.
I see the ravens made
Her nest in your eyes
Shes got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And youll go under from
The weight of her lies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies.

Dan Fogelberg - A Cry In The Forest - lyrics

Theres a cry in the forest, its feathered and brown
And it echoes off of nothing as the trees come down
Its the sound of a sparrow hittin the ground
Its the sound of one eternity bound
Its the sound of one eternity bound
Theres a cry in the oceans, its plaintive and blue
And it rises from the depths, breaks my heart in two
Its the dreams of the great whales running aground
For they know that theyre eternity bound
For they know that theyre eternity bound
Whoa eternity bound
Once theyve passed into the timeless, they can never more be found
Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear the sound
Of the gentle ones eternity bound
Of the gentle ones eternity bound
Theres a cry in the heart of every woman and man
Weve been crying in the darkness since the world began
Will we ever seek forgiveness, will we ever earn the crown
Or are we in turn eternity bound
Or are we in turn eternity bound
Whoa eternity bound
Once weve past into the timeless, we can never more be found
Is there anybody listening, tell me can you hear the sound
Of the lonely ones eternity bound
Of the lonely ones eternity bound
Of the lonely ones eternity bound

Dan Fogelberg - Anastasia's Eyes - lyrics

Theres thorns on the cactus tree
Theres thorns on the rose
Theres thorns in the heart of me
That nobody knows
They tear at the flesh until
The tears start to rise
They form in my heart
But they fall from anastasias eyes
And I was lost in the wilderness
Without courage or hope
I was setting my signal fires
And watching the smoke
When out of the smoke appeared
The sweetest surprise
And I knew Id been found
When first I looked into anastasias eyes
Theres thorns on the cactus tree
Theres thorns on the rose
Theres thorns in the heart of me
That nobody knows
But finally Ive found out where my salvation lies
It lies in the love that lives in anastasias eyes
It lies in the love that lives in anastasias eyes

Dan Fogelberg - Anyway I Love You - lyrics

Heres another little song for you.
I hope youll listen to it well.
Means no different than the others do
And it wont change you I can tell.
Anyway, I love you
Everyday I get more sure
Anyway, I love you
More and more and more and more
And more.
I have so much I can offer you
More to please you with than most.
But trying to tie you down is harder
Than
Trying to hold on to a ghost.
Chorus
So if you ever feel the need for me
Let it carry you along
Dont be shy and try to hold it down
Cause what you feel just cant be wrong.

Dan Fogelberg - Believe In Me - lyrics

If I could ever say it right
And reach your hostage heart
Despite the doubts you harbor
Then you might
Come to believe in me.
The life I lead is not the kind
That gives a woman peace of mind
I only hope someday youll find
That you can believe in me.
Those other loves that
Came before
Mean nothing to me anymore
But you can never be quite sure
And will not believe in me.
Too many hearts have been broken
Failing to trust what they feel
But trust isnt something
Thats spoken
And loves never wrong
When its real.
If I could only do one thing
Then I would try to write and sing
A song that ends your questioning
And makes you believe in me.
Too many hearts have been broken
Failing to trust what they feel
But trust isnt something
Thats spoken
And loves never wrong
When its real.
If I could only do one thing
Then I would try to write and sing
A song that ends your questioning
And makes you believe in me
Oh, you can believe in me.

Dan Fogelberg - Bones In The Sky - lyrics

Up through the branches
The stars shine above
On the arroyos
And mesas you loved
And as the moon rises
The black mountain mourns
For the old friend
Hell look on no more
Jacks-in-the-pulpit
Bones in the sky
Long winding rivers
That never ran dry
And the secrets she gathered
From the wild blowing sands
Breathed in her heart
And her hands
I sing to your spirit
Where all my dreams dwell
The vision, the freedom
The life lived so well
And I sing in your canyons
And the echoes ring clear
And I wish somehow
You may still hear
