## Song lyrics
### Souvenirs (1974)

* Love when you can Cry when you have to... Be who you must That's a part of the plan Await your arrival With simple survival And one day we'll all understand... Your conscience awakes and you see your mistakes And you wish someone would buy your confession The days miss their mark and the night gets so dark
** Part of the Plan
* 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... And it looks like you're gonna Have to see me again... Cause I've got a woman Who waits for me there And I need a breath of that Sweet country air
** Illinois
* Changing horses in the middle of a stream Gets you wet and sometimes cold
** Changing Horses
* I can see you in the distance And you're heading for a fall Sinking deeper by the minute You're about to lose it all... You better change Before the sun goes down You better leave Before you are the last in town You better raise Your fortresses or tear them down... Tear them down!
** Better Change
* As the Raven Flies Lyrics I see the raven's made Her nest in your eyes She's got you thinking that Her love is a prize And you'll go under from The weight of her lies
** As the raven flies
* 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
** Song from Half Mountain
* Someone's been telling you stories Someone's been telling you stories And they just ain't true No, they just ain't true They just ain't true Someone's been telling you stories]].
** Song from Half Mountain
* There's a place in the world For a gambler There's a burden that only he can bear... And he sees. Oh, yes he sees... There's a light in the depths Of your darkness There's a calm at the eye Of every storm There's a light in the depths Of your [[blindness|darkness}} Let it shine Oh, let it shine
** There’s a Place in the World for a Gambler

### Phoenix (1979)

* 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.
** Heart Hotels.
* Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean Higher than any bird ever flew. Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens, I've been in love with you.
** Longer.
* Along the road your steps may stumble Your thoughts may start to stray But through it all a heart held humble Levels and lights your way.
** Along the Road.

### The Innocent Age (1981)

* 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.
** Run for the Roses.
* 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.
** Leader of the Band.
* The leader of the band is tired And his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument And his song is in my soul -- My life has been a poor attempt To imitate the man. I'm just a living legacy To the leader of the band.
** The Leader of the Band.
* We drank a toast to innocence We drank a toast to now. And tried to reach beyond the emptiness But neither one knew how.
** Same Old 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.
** Same Old Lang Syne.

### Windows and Walls (1984)

* 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...
** The Language of Love.
* 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.
** Believe in Me.

### Portrait - The Music of Dan Fogelberg (1997)

* 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.
** Hearts and Crafts.

### Full Circle (2003)

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