I've been in a Dan Fogelberg kinda mood all day and yesterday. Kind of obsessing. I hate it when I obsess, but there are worse things to obsess about... I thought Zoloft was supposed to get rid of that... Oh well, it's not a historically great time for me right now. I guess a little obsessing won't hurt nuthin'.
Anyway, here are the lyrics to a Fogelberg song I've been listening to a lot in the last 48 hours...
Along The Road
Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part of the heart gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road
Along the road your path may wander
A pilgrim's faith may fail
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Darkness obscures the trailCursing the quest
Courting disaster
Measureless nights forbode
Moments of rest
Glimpses of laughter
Are treasured along the road
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 wayJoy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part of the heart gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the roadAnd this one also...
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 ageBack 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 meFretful horizons, worrisome skies
Tearful misgivings burning your eyes
Yearnings unanswered, reckon the wage you pay
To recapture the innocent age
