Dan Fogelberg Lyrics
Mp3 Lyrics!
Same old lang syne
Same auld lang syne
Stars
A love like this
Netherlands
Hearts in decline
The power of gold
Magic every moment
Leader of the band
Anastasia's eyes
Seeing you again
In the passage
Once upon a time
Better change
False faces

Dan Fogelberg Lyrics
NEW Lyrics!
Loose ends
Only the heart may
Bones in the sky
The lion's share
Hard to say
The spirit trail
Heart hotels
River of souls
Captured angel
Go down easy
The way it must be
The last nail
All there is
All "Dan Fogelberg"

They came from Scandinavia
The land of midnight sun
And crossed the North Atlantic
When this century was young
They'd heard that in America
Every man was free
To live the way he chose to live
And be who he could be.
Some of them were farmers there
And tilled the frozen soil
But all they got was poverty
For all their earnest toil
They say one was a sailor
Who sailed the wide world round
Made home port--got drunk one night
Walked off the pier and drowned.
My mother was of Scottish blood
It's there that she was born
They brought her to America in 1924
They left behind the highlands
And the heather covered hills
And came to find America
With broad, expectant dreams
And iron wills.

My grandad worked the steel mills
Of central Illinois
His daughter was his jewel
His son was just his boy
For thirty years he worked the mills
And stoked the coke-fed fires
And looked toward the day
When he'd at last turn 65
And could retire.
Chorus
And the sons become the fathers
And the daughters will be wives
As the torch is passed
from hand to hand
And we struggle through our lives
Though the generations wander
The lineage survives
And all of us
From dust to dust
We all become forefathers
By and by.
The woman and the man were wed
Just after the war
And they settled in this river town
And three fine sons she bore
One became a lawyer
And one fine pictures drew
And one became this lonely soul
Who sits here now
And sings this song to you.
(Repeat chorus)
