1.Part of the Plan
Lyrics：Daniel Fogelberg
Music：Daniel Fogelberg
I have these moments
All steady and strong
I'm feeling so holy and humble
The next thing I know
I'm all worried and weak
And I feel myself
Starting to crumble.
The meanings get lost
And the teachings get tossed
And you don't know what you're
Going to do next.
You wait for the sun
But it never quite comes
Some kind of message comes
Through to you.
Some kind of message comes through.
And it says to you...
Chorus
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...
I had a woman
Who gave me her soul
But I wasn't ready to
Take it.
Her heart was so fragile
And heavy to hold
And I was afraid I might
Break it.
Your conscience awakes
And you see your mistakes
And you wish someone
Would buy your confessions.
The days miss their mark
And the night gets so dark
And some kind of message
Comes through to you
Some kind of message
Shoots through --
Chorus
There is no Eden or
Heavenly gates
That you're gonna make it to
One day
But all of the answers you seek
Can be found
In the dreams that you dream
On the way.
2.The Power Of Gold
The story is told of the power of gold
And its lure on the unsuspecting
It glitters and shines, it badgers and blinds
And constantly needs protecting
Balance the cost of the soul you lost
with the dreams you lightly sold
Are you under the power of gold
The letters and calls got you climbing the walls
And everyone wants a favor
They beg to remind you of times left behind you
But you know the past is a loser
The face you're wearing is different now
And the days run hot and cold
Are you under the power of gold
You're a creature of habit, run like a rabbit
Scared of a fear you can't name
Your own paranoia is looming before you
And nobody thinks that it's a game
Balance the cost of the soul you lost
With the dreams you lightly sold
Then tell me that you're free of the power of gold
The power of gold
The women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's something about the song that disturbs you
The women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's something about the song that disturbs you
The women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's something about the song that disturbs you
3.Heart Hotels
Well there's too many windows in this old hotel
And rooms filled with reckless pride
And the walls have grown sturdy
And the halls have worn well
But there is nobody living in inside
Nobody living inside
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
Seek inspiration in daily affairs
Now your soul is in trouble and requires repairs
And the voices you hear at the top of the stairs
Are only echoes of unanswered prayers
Echoes of unanswered prayers
(Repeat First Verse)
4.Longer
Longer than every fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I'be been in love with you
(I am in love with you)
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you
I'll bring fire in the winters
You'll sent showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls
And summers with love upon my wings
Through the years
As the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks
And the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you
I'll be in love with you
永恆
早在海裡有魚兒以前
比任何鳥兒曾飛過到的地方更高
遠在天上有星星之前
我就已經深愛著你
(我與你墜入愛河)
遠比任何山頂上的大教堂更堅固
遠比樹的成長更真實
比原始森林更深遠
我與你墜入愛河
我會在冬日裡，為你帶來熾火
在春日裡，你帶來陣雨
我們將飛過所有的秋與夏
——用我們雙翼上的愛
多年以後，當熾火轉弱
燃燒著的是我們生命裡的每一字句
雖然封面已有些斑駁，書頁亦逐漸泛黃
我將依然愛你
我將依然愛你
5.Hard To Say
LUCKY AT LOVE, WELL MAYBE SO
THERE'S STILL A LOT OF THINGS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
LIKE WHY EACH TIME THE SKY BEGINS TO SNOW YOU CRY
YOU'RE FAITHFUL TO HER IN YOUR CARELESS WAY
AND SO YOU MISS HER WHEN SHE'S FAR AWAY
BUT EVERY TIME YOU THINK YOU GOT IT STRAIGHT, YOU FALL
YOU FACE THE FUTURE WITH THE WEARY PAST
THOSE DREAMS YOU BANKED UPON ARE FADING FAST
YOU KNOW YOU LOVE HER BUT IT MAY NOT LAST, YOU FEAR
IT'S NEVER EASY AND IT'S NEVER CLEAR
WHO'S TO NAVIGATE AND WHO'S TO STEER
AND SO YOU FLOUNDER DRIFTING EVER NEAR THE ROCKS
IT'S HARD TO SAY WHERE LOVE WENT WRONG
IT'S HARD TO SAY JUST WHEN ( IT'S SO HARD TO SAY )
IT'S HARD TO WALK AWAY FROM LOVE
IT MAY NEVER COME AGAIN
YOU DO YOUR BEST TO KEEP YOUR HAND IN PLAY
AND TRY TO KEEP THOSE LONESOME BLUES AT BAY
YOU THINK YOU'RE WINNING BUT IT'S HARD TO SAY SOMETIMES
IT'S HARD TO SAY WHERE LOVE WENT WRONG
IT'S HARD TO SAY JUST WHEN ( IT'S SO HARD TO SAY )
IT'S HARD TO WALK AWAY FROM LOVE
IT MAY NEVER COME AGAIN
LUCKY AT LOVE, WELL MAYBE SO
THERE'S STILL A LOT OF THINGS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
LIKE WHY EACH TIME THE SKY BEGINS TO SNOW YOU CRY
YOU CRY, OOH YOU STILL HAVE TO CRY
6.Leader Of The Band
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
A quiet man of music
denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once
but his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love through discipline
a thundering, velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls
took me years to understand
＊＊＊
The leader of the band is tired
and his eyes are growing old
But his blood runs through my instrument
and his son 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
＊＊＊
My brothers' lives were different
for they heard another call
One went to Chicago
and the other to St. Paul
And I'm in Colorado
when I'm not in some hotel
Living out this life I've chosen
and come to know so well
I thank you for the music
and your stories of the road
I thank you for the freedom
when it came my time to go
I thank you for the kindness
and the time when you got tough
And papa I don't think I said
'I love you' near enough
REPEAT ＊＊＊
I am a living legacy
to the leader of the band
7.Same Old Lang Syne
Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve
She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried.
We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totalled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged.
We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.
She said she'd married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie.
I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw
Doubt or gratitude.
She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another 'auld lang syne'...
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.
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
8.Run For The Roses
Born in the valley and raised in the trees
Of Western Kentucky on wobbly knees
With mama beside you to help you along
You'll soon be a-growing up strong
All the long, lazy mornings in pastures of green
The sun on your withers, the wind in your mane
Could never prepare you for what lies ahead
The run for the roses so red
(Chorus)
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
From sire to sire, it's born in the blood
The fire of a mare and the strength of a stud
It's breeding and it's training and it's something unknown
That drives you and carries you home
(Chorus)
9.Make Love Stay
Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over
How do we make love stay
Now that we know
The fire can burn bright or merely smolder
How do we keep it from dying away
Elusive as dreams barely remembered in the morning
Love like a phantom flies
But held in the heart it pales like the empty smile adorning
A statue with sightless eyes
(Chorus)
Moments fleet taste sweet within the rapture
When precious flesh is greedily consumed
But mystery is a thing not easily captured
And once deceased not easily exhumed
Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over
How do we make love stay
(Chorus)
Now that we love
Look at the moonless night and tell me
How do we make love stay
10.Missing You
Hard days I'm traveling alone for too long
Ooo, I'm missing you
I'm always somewhere that I never belong
Ooo, I'm missing you
I'm moving so fast now it doesn't seem true
Ooo, I'm missing you
I'm getting closer but I don't know what to
Ooo, I'm missing you
(Chorus)
Oh, if I had you beside me
Then I just might sleep through the night
Your love is the promise that guides me
All of the days of my life
This life I'm living's gettin' so hard to feel
Ooo, I'm missing you
The days are empty and the nights are unreal
Ooo, I'm missing you
(Chorus)
All of the days of my life
(Repeat First Verse and Chorus)
All of the days of my life
All of the days of my life
11.The Language Of Love
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 say leave when I mean stay
But she don't see and so she moves away
What we really want you know we rarely say
Such is the language of love
It's tooth for tooth and eye for eye
We hide our hearts and then we won't say why
It's truth for truth and lie for lie
Such is the language of love
One cries foul and will not speak
The other claims a little victory
And all the time you know we fail to see
This is the language of love
When a love begins to wander no one ever knows
But we feel it deep inside us
Long before it shows
Long before it shows
We hem and haw, we balk and bluff
Our words don't ever seem to say enough
But a simple smile and tender touch
Speaks the true language of love
When a love begins to wander no one ever knows
But we feel it deep inside us
Long before it shows
Long before it shows
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
Such is the language of love
12.Believe In Me
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 you'll 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
(Chorus)
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
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
(Chorus)
And makes you believe in me Oh, you can believe in me
13.Lonely In Love
Some say that love is its own, love is its own reward
But I can't help but believe there's got to be more
A man needs a woman to have and to hold
To love him in body as well as in soul
I need your desire, where did the fire go
I keep trying to sleep but sleep won't be mine tonight
There's so much sorrow inside and baby I don't know why
I give you your freedom, I give you my love
I give all I have every time that we touch
I don't know baby, maybe I give too much
(Chorus)
Now I'm lonely in love
Why must I be lonely in love
I'm so lonely in love
Baby why must I be lonely
Why must I be lonely in love
I know that love carries no, she carries no guarantees
But still I can't seem to find a reason that I can believe in
You said to be patient and give you some room
You said you had changes you need to work through
But the longer I wait the farther I feel from you
(Chorus)
I'm so lonely in love
Why must I be lonely in love with ya darlin
I'm so lonely in love
Baby you're my one and only
Why do you keep me lonely in love
14.Rhythm Of The Rain
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
Now the only girl I've ever loved has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
Little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
Oh the only girl I've ever loved has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
Little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
And rain in her heart
And let the love we knew start to grow (whoa-whoa)
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
Oh, I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
When the rain comes they run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
When the rain comes....
away
15.Magic Every Moment
I awoke this morning to a shattering sound
And I went downstairs and found these shards of glass strewn all
around
And there upon the floor I found this poor broken dove
And it made me realize how very fragile is this life that we so
love
I came back up to bed and I held you so tight
And I prayed up to the Father, oh I prayed with all my might
That He'd always keep you with me, that He'd always keep you
safe
And when I went dowstairs I found that dove had somehow up and
flown away
(Chorus)
There's a magic every moment
There's a miracles each day
There's a magic every moment
Oh won't you let the music play
Oh won't you let the music play
On a high and windy island I was gazing out to sea
When a long forgotten feeling came and took control of me
It was then the clouds burst open and the sun came pouring
through
When it hit those dancing waters in an instant all eternity I
knew
There's so much we take for granted--there's so much we never
say
We get caught up in the motion of just a living day to day
We are fettered to the future, we are prisoners of the past
And we never seem to notice 'til our lives have finally
Slipped right through our grasp
(Chorus)
You can see forever in a single drop of dew
You can see that same forever if you look down deep inside of
you
There's a spark of the creator in every living thing
He respects me when I work but He so loves me when I sing
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
16.Don't Lose Heart
This life is heartless and it's rarely just
Full of sad betrayals and misplaced trust
And it can suck your spirit just as dry as dust
And steel your soul if you let it
Ooh every life contains its sorrows and pains
Its stormy weather and its rough terrains
You watch me wrestle with my length of chain
And smile so bravely as you tell me
(Chorus)
Don't lose heart, don't lose heart
Though it feels like yours will fall apart
Just remember when the road gets dark
I will always be beside you
Well, I spend my life pursuing fortune and fame
Chasing rainbows in a shadow game
And I'm not sure what I've lost is worth the gain
Or why my soul remains so restless
You've seen me stumble, Lord, you've seen me fall
You shared my triumphs and you've seen me crawl
When I think that I could lose it all
You give me courage and you tell me
(Chorus)
When the road gets rocky and the ride gets rough
And the best you got to give ain't good enough
There will always be a place inside my love
Where you can find shelter, where you can find shelter
Ooh every life contains its sorrows and pains
Its stormy weather and its rough terrains
You watch me wrestle with my length of chain
And smile so bravely as you tell me
Don't lose heart, oh don't lose heart
Though it feels like yours will fall apart
Just remember when the road gets dark
I will always be beside you
Well, I will always be beside, beside you
17.To The Morning
Lyrics：Daniel Fogelberg
Music：Daniel Fogelberg
Arranger：Gleen Spreen
Watching the sun
Watching it come
Watching it come up over the rooftops.
Cloudy and warm
Maybe a storm
You can never quite tell
From the morning.
Chorus
And it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say no
To the morning.
Yes it's going to be a day
There is really nothing left to
Say but
Come on morning.
Waiting for mail
Maybe a tail
From an old friend
Or even a lover.
Sometimes there's none
But we have fun
Thinking of all who might
Have written.
And maybe there are seasons
And maybe they change
And maybe to love is not so strange.
The sounds of the day
They hurry away
Now they are gone until tomorrow.
When day will break
And you will wake
And you will rake your hands
Across your eyes
And realize
That it's going to be a day
There is really no way to say no
To the morning.
Yes it's going to be a day
There is really nothing left to say but
Come on morning.
18.Stars
Lyrics：Daniel Fogelberg
Music：Daniel Fogelberg
Stood out in the rain
Let it soak me down
Before I called you...I called you.
Didn't see me there
Hidden by the rain
Beneath your window...But I saw you.
Putting on your face before the
Mirror on the wall
Dreaming that the looking glass
was me...
Catching your fondest gazes
Living through your fickle phases
I love you.
And it's getting easier each day
To weep about you
Harder every night to sleep without you
How many years must I be driven
By this dream
Of love with you？
Spend my dimes on phones
Trying just to talk but
You don't answer...you let it ring.
Spend my nights alone
Catching falling stars to
Give to you, love,
They're just for you.
For stars fall every time a
lover has to face the truth
And far too many stars have
fell on me.
And as they trail the skies
And burn their paths upon my eyes
I cry.
19.Wysteria
Lyrics：Daniel Fogelberg
Music：Daniel Fogelberg
Arranger：Gleen Spreen
Wysteria, did you change your face
again
Those of us who loved you when
Can't even find you.
Wysteria, did you lose another man
Did you make him understand
That he can't touch you.
Wysteria, did he take you to the fair？
Were the folks that you met there
The same that we met？
Wysteria, did he teach you how
to dance
Did he bring you paper fans
to hide your secret？
Was he just like all the rest
When he got to the sad part
Did he stay a bit too long
To save his heart.
Wysteria, are your lips still lily white
Do they still bloom just
At night and die at sunrise？
20.Song From Half Mountain
Lyrics：Daniel Fogelberg
Music：Daniel Fogelberg
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.
Now the dream is rising
In a moment it will be past
This breath is my first
It will all too soon be my last.
And on a windy coast
I made several toasts
To you and me and the sea
And no one heard.
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.
21.Old Tennessee
Lyrics：Dan Fogelberg
Music：Dan Fogelberg
End of October
The sleepy brown woods seem to
Nod down their heads to the Winter.
Yellows and grays
Paint the sad skies today
And I wonder when
You're coming home.
Woke up one morning
The wind through the window
Reminded me Winter
Was just 'round the bend.
Somehow I just didn't
See it was coming
It took me by surprise again.
And I hear you're in San Francisco
Living with your sister who's a mother to be.
And her husband's way down in Georgia
And I'm still in old Tennessee...
Wishing you'd come home to me.
Life here is easy
I'm sure you recall
How it's so warm and breezy
In the Summer and the Fall.
But Winter's upon me
And I've got no heat here
And I miss your fire so sweet, Dear
I miss your fire so sweet.
And I hear you're in San Francisco
Living with your sister who's a mother to be.
And her husband's way down in Georgia
And I'm still in old Tennessee...
Wishing you'd come home to me.
End of October
The sleepy brown woods seem to
Nod down their heads to the Winter.
Yellows and gray
Paint the sad skies today
And I wonder when
You're coming home
I wonder when you're coming home.
22.Nether Lands
High on this mountain
The clouds down below
I'm feeling so strong and alive
From this rocky perch
I'll continue to search
For the wind and the snow and the sky
Oh I want a lover and I want some friends
And I want to live in the sun
And I want to do all the things that I never have done
Sunny bright mornings and pale moonlit nights
Keep me from feeling alone
Now I'm learning to fly and this freedom is like
Nothing that I've ever known
Oh I've seen the bottom and I've been on top
But mostly I've lived in between
And where do you go when you get to the end of your dream
Off in the Nether Lands I heard the sound
Like the beating of heavenly wings
And deep in my brain I can hear a refrain
Of my soul as she rises and sings
Anthems to glory and anthems to love
And hymns filled with earthly delight
Like the songs that the darkness composes to worship the light
Once in a vision I came on some woods
And stood at a fork in the road
My choices were clear yet I froze with the fear
Of not knowing which way to go
Oh, one road was simple acceptance of life
The other road offered sweet peace
When I made my decision
My vision became my release
23.Scarecrow's Dream
Seldom seen a scarecrow's dream
I hang in the hopes of replacement
Castles tall, I built them all
But I dream that I'm trapped in the basement
And if you ever hear me calling out
And if you've been by paupers crowned
Between the wolds of men and make-believe I can be found
Plans I've made
A masquerade fading in fear of the coming day
Heroes' tales like nightingales
Wrestle the wind as they run away
And if you ever hear them calling out
And if you've been by paupers crowned
Between the worlds of men and make-believe I can be found
Garden gate
An empty plate waiting for someone to come and fill
Scarecrow's dreams like frozen streams
Thirst for the thaw but they're running still
And if you ever hear them calling out
And if you've been by paupers crowned
Between the wolds of men and make-believe I can be found
24.Since You've Asked
What I'll give you since you asked is all my time together
Take the rugged sunny days, the warm and rocky weather
Take the roads that I have walked along, looking for tomorrow's
time
Peace of mind
As your life spills into mine, changing with the seasons
Filling up the world with time, changing time to reasons
I can show you all the songs that I never sang to someone before
We have seen a million stars lying by the water
You have climbed the hills with me to the mountain shelter
Taking off the days one by one, setting them to breathe in the
sun
Take the lilies and the lace from the days of childhood
All the willow winding paths leading up and outward
This is what I give, this is what I ask you for
Nothing more
25.Hearts And Crafts
Handing me a looking glass
You asked me who it was I saw
But if I was to answer to you
You know I'd surely answer wrong
'Cause I've loved you too long
I've loved you too long
Turning halfway toward the sun
You asked me to become your shade
But why should I be made to run
At the end of the parade
Love is not that way, at all
Love is not that way
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
26.Only The Heart May Know
Silent sea, tell this to me
Where are the children that we used to be
(Silent sea)：At picture shows where nobody goes and only the
heart can see
Starry skies, soft lullabies
Where do they go when their melody dies
(Starry skies)： To a day, far, far away, that only the heart may
know
(Chorus)
Friends we knew follow us through all of the days of our lives
Love we shared waits for us there where our wishes forever
reside
Falling tears, memories' mirrors Where are the summers, oh,
where are the years
(Falling tears)： Carried far to a wandering star that only the
heart may know
(Chorus)
Starry skies, soft lullabies
Where do they go when their melody dies
To a day, far, far away, that only the heart may know
That only the heart may know
27.Sweet Magnolia(And The Travelling Salesman)
Two hearts throwing off sparks
Young and in love with our freedom
Moonlight, the soft southern nights
We were both ripe to fall
Well I was out on my own
Playing for all who would listen
And you were as free as a bird
Flying from nest to nest
But somewhere our eyes met
And our hands reached out
And we felt a kindred spirit
And as our faces touched
I could feel the fire
And needed so to just be near it
Oh lord, those moments we soared
Borne on the wings of our passion
It seemed then like they'd never end
But times like that always must '
Cause then one day I flew far away from you
I never knew how I'd regret it
My sweet Magnolia belle you know I've loved you well
Even if I never said it
Magnolia, now I see that freedom isn't free
And love's the only true redeemer
And when this journey's through
I'll be coming back for you
If you'll have this foolish dreamer
I spend a night now and then passing through town on my travels
But someday I'm gonna come back to stay
Magnolia, I'm coming home
28.Windows And Walls
Up every morning long before day
Cooking her breakfast alone
She quietly dresses and pulls up the shade
And sits in the chair by the phone
But nobody ever comes by anymore
Nobody ever calls
Most days she sits and just stares
At the windows and walls
Windows and walls
Children all married, husband's passed on
Nothing but time on her hands
Most of her mornings are spent in her dreams
Or making her sad little plans
Maybe she'll go to the corner today
And pick up the new McCall's
If just to escape for an hour from her windows and walls
Windows and walls, windows and walls
The clock on the mantel chiming the hours
Must be the loneliest sound
She washes her dishes and waters her flowers
And afterwards has to sit down
Sometimes she still can remember a child
Playing with china dolls
Now all that she's left
Are these memories and windows and walls
Windows and walls
Windows and walls

29.Seeing You Again
Seeing you again was like meeting for the first time
In a foggy dream so many years ago
Strangers in an airport searching for a word to break the ice
Holding you again even for the briefest moment
Made me realize how much I love you still
Wanting you to want me
Still not knowing if you ever will
(Chorus)
Seeing you again
Seeing you again was the sweetest torture I may ever know
Seeing you again
Seeing you again made me wish I'd never let you go
Seeing you again
Running free along the beaches where our shadows first began to
intertwine
Listening to your laughter
Wishing that your love could still be mine
(Chorus)
Did you only come to say you're sorry or give it one more try
Did you only need to see there was nothing left for me inside
worth saving
Running for your train
You smiled back through the doorway like you used to when our
hearts still beat as one
And as I turned away I knew the lonely days had just begun
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
30.Bones In The Sky
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 he'll 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
31.The Minstrel
There's a love in my life neither mistress or wife
And she waits for me every morning by the sea
Where the fishing hawk wheels and the sun warms the seals
There she lays at her silent anchorage for me
She is fine, she is fleet -- she will run, reach or beat
With a song in her rigging and her sails
And when day is done we will lay two as one
And sleep 'neath the rolling rhythm of the stars
(Chorus)
And we sail away off to Jericho Bay
Where the blue of the sea meets the sky
And the song that she sings me, it brings me such peace
When the seas rise up angry and high
She's a friend of mine...The Minstrel
There are loons off to port and the porpoises sport
In her wake as she breaks the rolling main
And with the wind in her sails, we will run with the whales
As they swim through their dark, diminishing domain
(Chorus)
32.Mountains To The Sea
Well, I spent two days in travelling the mountains to the sea
I knew the change would do me good and set my spirit free
I spent two nights in wondering what it is you've done to me
Before an answer came I reached the sea
Here I spend my days in wandering the reaches and the reefs
And my soul becomes so quiet I can hear my own beliefs
I sail out on the ocean 'til I cannot see the land
And I wonder if you'll ever understand
Why a soul with so much heaven held should ever feel so damned
And why it's always so uncomfortable to hold another's hand
Why of late I feel myself a ship out to sea--unmanned
I wonder if you'll ever understand
There are seagulls in the morning here, I watch them search and
soar
As they dive to take the fishes that swim just beyond the shore
Then they fly off in the distance 'til they finally fade from
view
Somehow, they remind me so of you
There's so many things you need to learn that I can never teach
And places in your troubled soul that I may never reach
So I wander like an ebbing tide along this lonely beach
And cast my dreams like stones into the sea
33.A Love Like This
And now the lonely days are done
And with each rising of the sun, love begins anew
And if you ever ask me why I know that my love will never die
I'll say these words to you
Of all the souls I've ever known
Mine sings to yours and yours alone
And yours sings just to me
In all this world I'll never find
A heart that could beat as close to mine
And this time I can see
(Chorus)
A love like this is so hard to find
And so many never do
And loves like this, when they even exist
Are precious and few
You know they're precious and few
(Repeat Chorus)
Down the miles, through the years
Yours is the star by which I steer
The brightest star I've known
And when I feel all hope is gone
Yours is the love that leads me on
The light that guides me home
The light that guides me home
Your light will guide me home

35.Phoenix
I have cried too...I have cried too long
I have cried too...I have cried too long
No more sorrow...got to carry on
Found deep water before I'd even learned to swim
Found deep water before I'd even learned to swim
Never thought I'd see the sun again
Once I was a...once I was a man alone
Once I was a...once I was a man alone
Now I've found a heart to call my home
Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames
Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames
No more living someone else's dreams
I have cried too...I have cried too long
I have cried too...I have cried too long
No more sorrow...got to carry on
You almost had me, old lady You almost tied me down good
You played the lady in waiting And I waited as long as I could
Too long the songs have been silent Too long the strings have
been still
I never knew what you wanted And I guess that I never will
Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames
Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames
No more living someone else's dreams
I have cried too...I have cried too long
I have cried too...I have cried too long
No more sorrow...got to carry on
36.As The Raven Flies
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
As the raven flies As the raven flies
She'll bring you stories that just never sound true
She'll bring you secrets that were never meant for you
And just as you come round she'll send you back through
She's in love with you She's in love with you
Darker, Darker Don't let her talk her way into you
Lonely, Lonely You know she's only no good for you
Darker, Darker Don't let her talk her way into you
Lonely, Lonely You know she's only no good for you
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
As the raven flies As the raven flies
As the raven flies As the raven flies
37.The River
Lyrics：Daniel Fogelberg
Music：Daniel Fogelberg
I was born by a river
Rolling past a town
Given no direction
Just told to keep my head down.
As I took my position
A man fired a gun
I was so steeped in tradition
That I could not run.
I was raised by a river
Weaned upon the sky
And in the mirror of the waters
I saw myself learn to cry.
As my tears hit the surface
I saw what had been done.
I gave feet to my freedom
And I did run.
Someday later
I saw the writing in the dust
It told me how I should travel
It told me who I was.
I ran far from the river
Far as I could see
And as the sun hit my shoulders
I felt it burning me.
How I longed for the waters
As the fire raged
How I longed for the river
As I aged.
I will die by a river
As it rolls away
Bury me in the nighttime
Do not waste the day.
High above the waters
That roll on to the sea.
All the angels in heaven will
laugh at me.
They will laugh at me.
My life was naught but a river
Rolling through my brain
Made of so many teardrops
Made of so much pain.
38.Once Upon A Time
Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul but nothing stirs
So you take the love of whoever you please
But you can't find no reason for giving yours
(Chorus)
'Cause once upon a time
You held a love so strong and fine
That all the others simply don't compare
She's always on your mind
But once upon a time
You had her there
Drive into town 'most every night
On the chance that there might be someone waiting for you
You tell yourself you'll give it your best
Maybe settle for less but you never do
(Chorus)
(Repeat First Verse)
(Chorus)
39.Tell Me To My Face
And though you try to justify the meaning
Of the note you sent this evening to my door
You're not deceiving me
Well, I'd have thought that you'd have known much better
Sending 'round an unsigned letter
Facing me would be much better now
(Chorus)
It is just that you can't face the future with me
Can't you tell me to my face
You just took the coward's way to say goodbye
How would you feel here in my place
And now I know my love is lost on you
And nothing you can say or do
Will turn my head around the other way
I'd have thought you'd have the decency to come and tell the
truth to me
Instead of telling lies your eyes betray
(Chorus)
Tell me to my face you're leaving now
Tell me to my face that you're leaving now
(Repeat First Verse and Chorus)
Tell me to my face you're leaving now
Tell me to my face that you're leaving now
40.Wishing On The Moon
How many eyes will you sack in sorrow
Seeking to borrow some sight of your own
How many lies will you have to suffer
Until you discover there's nobody home
How many roads will you have to wander
How many dead end streets
How many dreams will you finally squander
Dodging your own defeats
(Chorus)
You're wishing on the moon tonight
There's not a lucky star in sight
Just wishing on the moon tonight
How many doors will you have to open
Desperately hoping each one's the last
How many more will you close behind you
Bitter and blind to the shadows you cast
How many fools will you have to follow
How many wayward winds
How many sins will you have to swallow
Until the truth sinks in
That you've been...
(Chorus)
Wishing on the moon
(Repeat First Verse once and Chorus twice)
Wishing on the moon
You're just, just, just wishing
41.Empty Cages
Waiting in the wings your courage sings before you falter
It's just another way to say what's there but never shows
It's just another day to lay your sins before the altar
And where it's going to end this time around nobody knows
Every time it seems that you have gained an understanding
Those devils at your heels reach up and try to tip the scales
Waking from a dream it seems it's all been done without you
And every vain attempt to make you stay is destined to fail
(Chorus)
Fury rages through your restless days
Shades of time that's gone before
Empty cages where the prisoner plays
'Til the door swings closed behind forevermore
Evermore... Evermore...
Long before we come of age we yearn to leave the garden
And wrestle with a myth the hand of fate has faintly drawn
But somewhere on the way we feel our hearts begin to harden
And see just as we learn to turn around
The garden is gone
(Chorus)
42.The Innocent Age
Capture the moment, carry the day
Stay with the chase as long as you may
Follow the dreamer, the fool and the sage
Back to the days of the innocent age
Storybook endings never appear
They're just someone's way of leading us here
Waiting for wisdom to open the cage
We forged in the fires of the innocent age
(Chorus)
Back at the start it was easy to see
No one to own to, nowhere to be
Deep in the heartlands a sad memory calls to me (calls to me)
Fretful horizons, worrisome skies
Tearful misgivings burning your eyes
Yearnings unanswered, reckon the wage you pay
To recapture the innocent age
(Chorus)
Fretful horizons, worrisome skies
Tearful misgivings burning your eyes
Yearnings unanswered, reckon the wage you
Pay to recapture the innocent age
43.What You're Doing
(Chorus)
Look...what you're doing
Baby what in heaven are you thinking of
Look...what you're doing
Will you throw away such sweet sweet love
Will you throw away such sweet sweet love
You used to say that you would always stay
But now you say you want to find your freedom
But are the promises of being free
Worth the sacrifice of all you had with me
You know I've always tried the best I could
To prove my love to you and make you happy
And once upon a time it felt so good
Now what has happened now to make you want to fly
Do you want to see me cry
(Chorus)
I ain't the fool that you believe I am
You tell your lies but I can see right through them
'Cause in your eyes I see another man
But he will never love you like you know I can
Oh girl you know I can
You better open up your eyes...
Look...what you're doing
Baby what in heaven where you thinking of
Look...what you're doing
Will you throw away such sweet sweet love
Will you throw away such sweet sweet love
Will you throw away such sweet sweet love
Will you throw away such sweet sweet love
44.She Don't Look Back
She's got a way of getting so inside you
That you think she's gonna steal your soul
She's got a way of making sure that you can't let go
She's got a trail of broken hearts behind her
Like a shadow where no shadow's cast
I ain't the first one and I doubt that I'll be the last
Too long, Too late
You're wrong to ever think she'd wait
She don't look back
Oh Oh Oh Oh, she don't look back
Oh Oh Oh Oh, she don't look back
Oh Oh Oh Oh, the lady don't look back
And when she goes she's gone
You can never tell just what she's after
You can never read it in her eyes
And in her laughter there's no hint of compromise
And you can stare into the fire forever
You can squeeze a stone until it bleeds
But you will never find the kind of love she needs
Too much, Too late
You're such a fool to think she'd wait
She don't look back
Oh Oh Oh Oh, she don't look back
Oh Oh Oh Oh, she don't look back
Oh Oh Oh Oh, the lady don't look back
And when she goes she's gone
She don't look back
She don't look back
She don't look back
45.Aurora Nova
(Instrumental)
46.The Wild Places
I was walking alone through the lofty San Juans
With a heart full of light and a head full of songs
I was thinking of time and how much it will cost
To recapture the souls that we surely have lost
In the cities and towns there are millions who dream
But the traffic's so loud that you can't hear them scream
There's a heaven on earth that so few ever find
Though the map's in your soul and the road's in your mind
So many mountains before us, so many rivers to cross
Where is the wisdom to bring back the vision we've lost
Can we gaze with the wonder of children
Into the deafening night
Has it gotten so dark that we cannot remember the light
When you sleep on the ground with the stars in your face
You can feel the full length of the beauty and grace
In the wild places man is an unwelcome guest
But it's here that I'm found and it's here I feel blessed
47.Democracy
There's a rumor that the president's dead
He had a tumor growing deep in his head
But it hasn't had the slightest effect on how he doing his job
And there's these lessons that they teach you in school
That you'd better learn to play be the rules
Or at least make sure you never get caught
Now that's a dangerous thought
They've got McDonald's in the USSR
Fries and burgers in the Kremlin's backyard
Now they're learning what democracy means
Let's send them Calvin Klein jeans
(Chorus)
Is this what democracy means？
Is this what democracy means？
Is this what democracy means？
Is this what democracy means？
Now there's people living out in the street
Going hungry with no shoes on their feet
While the government just twiddles its thumbs
And spends more money on guns
And they keep on planning nuclear war
Tell me who is it they're planning it for
If not the men that make their profits from hate
I swear it seems they can't wait
(Chorus)
And the business boys they don't seem to care
About the blood that filled Tiananmen Square
They're so fearful that their checkbooks will bounce
If they should lose these accounts
And the wall that tore Berlin has come down
Can you hear it？
Such a beautiful sound
Like it was written up above in the stars
Now we can sell them more cars
(Chorus twice)
48.A Voice For Peace
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
(Chorus)
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 it's shining still
But how much blood upon this earth must spill
Before we lay our weapons down
Let us lay our weapons down
(Chorus)
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
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
Oh let mine (oh let my small voice) be a voice for peace
Raise your voice up, raise your voice up
Raise your voice up and sing for the promise
(Sing as a round with the last chorus)
49.Nexus
Across the vein of night there cuts a path of searing light
Burning like a beacon on the edges of our sight
At the point of total darkness and the lights divine divide
A soul can let its shadow stretch and land on either side,
either side
And balanced on the precipice the moment must reveal
Naked in the face of time, our race within the wheel
As we hang beneath the heavens, and we hover over hell
Our hearts become the instruments we learn to play so well
So wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight
Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright
Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light
Outside the pull of gravity, beyond the spectral veil
Within our careful reasoning, we search to no avail
For the constant in the chaos, for the fulcrum in the void
Following a destiny our steps cannot avoid
Across the vein of night there cuts a path of searing light
Burning like a beacon on the edges of our sight
At the point of total darkness and the lights divine divide
A soul can let its shadow stretch and land on either side
Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight
Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright
Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light
In a spiral never-ending are we drawn towards the source
Spinning at the mercy of an unrelenting force
So we stare into the emptiness and fall beneath the weight
Circling the Nexus in a fevered dance with fate
Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight
Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright
Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light
50.Illinois
Lyrics：Daniel Fogelberg
Music：Daniel Fogelberg
Dusty day dawning
Three hours late
Open the curtains
And let the rest wait.
My mind goes running
Three thousand miles east
I may miss the harvest
But I won't miss the feast.
Chorus
And it looks like you're gonna
Have to see me again
And it looks like you're gonna
Have to see me again
And it looks like you're gonna
Have to see me again.
Illinois...oh, Illinois.
South California
Your sun is too cold
It looks like your hills
Have been raped of their gold.
I should have come out
When I was first told
This lamb has got to
Return to the fold.
Chorus
Illinois-I'm your boy.
Flat on the prairies
Soil and stone
Stretching forever
Taking me home
'Cause I've got a woman
Who waits for me there
And I need a breath of that
Sweet country air.
Chorus
Illinois-I'm your boy.
51.The Last Nail
Lyrics：Dan Fogelberg
Music：Dan Fogelberg
I saw you running
Ahead of the crowd
I chased but never thought
I'd catch you.
You said you loved me
But you had to be free
And I let you.
Why did I let you？
We walked together
Through the gardens and graves
I watched you grow
To be a woman.
Living on promises
That nobody gave
To no one.
They were given to no one.
I started listening
To the wind and the rain.
You strained your ears
But could hear nothing.
One night I thought
I heard them
Whisper my name.
And I went running.
I left a trail of footprints
Deep in the snow
I swore one day
I would retrace them.
But when I turned around
I found that the wind
Had erased them.
Now I'll never replace them.
Fly away, my sweet bird over the land
Take life for all the freedom you can
But if you ever should need a man
Well, the offer still stands.
I hear you've taken on a husband and child
and live somewhere in Pennsylvania
I never thought you'd ever sever the string
But I can't blame you none.
So let the ashes fall
And lay where they will
Just say that once
You used to know me.
One last time sing that old song
We used to know
But this time sing
A little more slowly.
Fly away, my sweet bird over the land
Take life for all the freedom you can
But if you ever should need a man
Well, the offer still stands.
52.Dancing Shoes
Dancing shoes on the wall above your bedside
Saw it all as we performed our pirouette
Fleshes fused as the flicker of the candles
Threw upon the wall a single silhouette
Tu es dans ma coeur et dans ma tete
Dancing shoes we have loved on distant beaches
Where the winter never reaches there we fell
Dying swan on the dawn you danced before me
Though your eyes were dark and stormy I stood still
Qui peut dire le faux et le reel
Dancing shoes though the distances divide us
There's a paradise inside us we can't lose
Me and you dance a 'pas de deux' forever
And I pray you never shed your dancing shoes
53.Paris Nocturne
(Instrumental)
54.Beggar's Game
I saw her first in a beggar's game
Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame
Those people knew her by another name
I knew that she'd be mine
I knew that she'd be mine
She took me in on a winter's 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 I've waited an eternity
I saw her first in a beggar's game
Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame
Those people knew her by another name
I knew that she'd be mine
I knew that she'd be mine
She took me in on a winter's 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 spell is broken and the chains fall free
Finally my heart has come home to me
It seems I've waited an eternity
55.The Reach
It's Maine, and it's Autumn, the birches have just begun turning
It's life and it's dying
The lobstermen's boats come returning with the catch of the day
in their holds
And the young boy is cold and complaining
The fog meets the beaches and out on the Reach it is raining
It's father and son, it's the way it's been done since the old
days
It's hauling by hand ten miles out from the land where their
chow waits
And the days are all lonely and long and the seas grow so stormy
and strong but...
The Reach will sing welcome as homeward they hurry along
(Chorus)
And the morning will blow away as the waves crash and fall
And the Reach like a siren sings as she beckons and calls
As the coastline recedes from view and the seas swell and roll
I will take from the Reach all that she has to teach to the
depths of my soul
The wind brings a chill, there's a frost on the sill in the
morning
It creeps through the door
On the edge of the shore ice is forming
Soon the northers will bluster and blow
And the woods will be whitened with snowfall
And the Reach will lie frozen for the lost and unchosen to row
(Chorus)
56.Tucson, Arizona(Gazette)
Tucson, Arizona rising in the heat like a mirage
Tony keeps his Chevy like a virgin locked in his garage
He brings it out at midnight and cruises down the empty
boulevards
And he prowls the darkened alleys that snake between the city's
thirsty yards
The lonely desert skies reflect the anger in his eyes and it is
dawn
His father died of drinking and left five children sinking with
his mom
His older brother Bobby never made it back from Viet Nam
With high school well behind him he lives at home and works this
shitty job
And he thinks his '60 Chevy is the only true amigo that he's got
His heart is filled with sadness and his soul is like some ugly
vacant lot
Mary Estelle Hanna came out from Louisiana for the sun
A deal gone bad in Dallas left her burned and broken on the run
To make the rent and groceries she takes this job at
three-fifteen an hour
Serving shots of whiskey and tequila in some smoky red-neck bar
And she dreams some day she'll make her way to L.A. and become a
movie star
Tony saw her working, he swallowed hard and asked her for a date
Mary laughed and answered; I would but every night I'm working
late
He said he had some cocaine that she could have if she'd just
ride along
She said; What the hell, I may as well, I haven't had no fun in
so damn long
He picked her up at closing time they pulled out on the road and
they were gone
Tony's mom got frantic when she found her son had not come home
Mary's roommate panicked and called the sheriff from a public
phone
They asked her lots of questions, She tried her best to tell
them what she saw
And late that night they found poor Mary lying in some narrow,
dusty draw
And the coroner reported that she hadn't been deceased for very
long
Two weeks on they found it buried to the windshield in the sand
There inside lay Tony with a small revolver in his hand
The papers simply stated it must have been the drugs that drove
him mad
And the neighbors speculated what could make a good boy go so
bad
Well, it might have been the desert heat
It might have been the home he never had
57.Go Down Easy
Lyrics：Jay Bolotin
Music：Jay Bolotin
Linda lost her lover in the early part of autumn
And she moved out to the country hoping all would be forgotten
The last time that I saw her she was makin' sure the winter
Wouldn't come through that old door frame
Where the door is several inches from the ground, the cold hard
ground
(Chorus)
And it's hard to go down easy
And it's hard to keep from cryin'
And it's hard to lose a lover in the early part of autumn
Well, she learned to cook the meals and she learned to start the
fire
And she learned to make jewelry out of stones and precious
metals
She sits down to the table with her friends and several others
And she tries real hard to never be alone
(Chorus)
Now the winter wind blows cold upon a fair and gentle soul
And she feels as if her time is passin' easy
Her friends are sometimes lovers, though they'll always be
another
She thinks about when the night time lays on down
(Chorus twice)
58.Sutter's Mill
Lyrics：Dan Fogelberg
Music：Dan Fogelberg
In the Spring of Forty-seven,
So the story, it is told,
Old John Sutter went to the mill site
Found a piece of shining gold.
Well, he took it to the city
Where the word, like wildfire, spread.
And old John Sutter soon came to wish he'd
Left that stone in the river bed.
For they came like herds of locusts
Every woman, child and man
In their lumbering Conestogas
They left their tracks upon the land.
(Chorus)
Some would fail and some would prosper
Some would die and some would kill
Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance
And some would curse John Sutter's Mill.
Well, they came from New York City,
And they came from Alabam'
With their dreams of finding fortunes
In this wild unsettled land.
Well, some fell prey to hostile arrows
As they tried to cross the plains.
And some were lost in the Rocky Mountains
With their hands froze to the reins.
Oh...
(Chorus)
Well, some pushed on to California
And others stopped to take their rest.
And by the Spring of Eighteen-sixty
They had opened up the west.
And then the railroad came behind them
And the land was plowed and tamed,
When Old John Sutter went to meet his maker,
He'd not one penny to his name.
Oh...
(Chorus)
And some would curse John Sutter's Mill
Some men's thirsts are never filled.
59.Song For A Carpenter
Oh, he makes his life as a carpenter
He works his hands in wood
And he lives the way his granddad might have liked and
understood
He goes to work each morning and he comes home every night
And the time that passes in between he knows has been spent
right
A child in South Ohio, a man in Northern Maine
He took his dream to the end of the world and he brought it home
again
Here he met his sweet Rebeckah...here he came to make his stand
In a house he built in the piney woods where the ocean meets the
land
(Chorus)
And it's hey-ho, steady as you go
Sing for the love of the land
Hey-ho, blessed is the home born of the carpenter's hand
Oh his hair is rough and curly and his legs they reach the
ground
And his eyes are full of living and his back is broad and brown
And his heart is sure and stubborn and his pride's too strong to
bend
And somewhere in his life he found the time to be my friend
(Chorus)
Oh he loves his sweet Rebeckah...he'll love her 'til his death
And she gave to him a bonny son and they named the child Seth
And now they are a family...a community of three
Living in the piney woods where the soil meets the sea
(Chorus)
Born of the carpenter's hand
