Dan started a topic similar to this one, but this song is so good, and moving for me. It is how I feel about myself overall. I guess it's sad, but hey. So am I. Dan Fogelberg: 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 worlds 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 fall But they're running still. And if you ever hear me calling out And if you've been by paupers crowned Between the worlds of men and make-believe I can be found. From the album Netherlands. 1977 |

Ahh! I love Dan Fogelberg! Here's "Longer" by him. One of the sweetest songs I know 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. 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 fires in the winters You'll send showers in the springs We'll fly through the falls and summers With love on our 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. 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 I am in love with you.. |

Dan Fogelberg is a fantastic lyricist. The last verse of this one always gets me. Written for his late father. 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 (Chorus) 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 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 chose and have 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 times when you got tough And, papa, I don't think I said 'I love you' near enough (Chorus) I am a living legacy to the leader of the band |

Excellent songs. He is a fantastic musician as well. I grew up on him, playing along with him on the guitar. :) |

But he is so underrated I think :( |

'Dan Fogelberg is a fantastic lyricist. The last verse of this one always gets me. Written for his late father.' I can understand that Deacon. My grandfather was a music man also. That's where I get my looks, my talent and love for REAL music, and well,...everything. If we were alive now, at the same age, we could have been identical twins. No kidding. He was my mothers father, and the odd thing is I never got to meet him. We have the same way of doing just about everything. It's kind of scary, but I love it, and take it as a compliment. He played piano for some of the big bands, and even Mel Torme a few times. His name was George Graham. I love him even tho I never knew him. And I guess for passing on the music to me. *looks up* thanks grandpa! |

Moving lyrics eh? Do they HAVE to be Dan Fogelberg? If so, Then I'm about to break the rules! LOL! Here's my first set of lmoving lyrics: Billy Joel - A Matter Of Trust Some love is just a lie of the heart The cold remains of what began with a passionate start And they may not want it to end But it will it's just a question of when I've lived long enough to have learned The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned But that won't happen to us Because it's always been a matter of trust I know you're an emotional girl It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world I can't offer you proof But you're going to face a moment of truth It's hard when you're always afraid You just recover when another belief is betrayed So break my heart if you must It's a matter of trust You can't go the distance With too much resistance I know you have doubts But for God's sake don't shut me out This time you've got nothing to lose You can take it, you can leave it, whatever you choose I won't hold back anything And I'll walk away a fool or a king Some love is just a lie of the mind It's make believe until its only a matter of time And some might have learned to adjust But then it never was a matter of trust I'm sure you're aware love We've both had our share of believing too long When the whole situation was wrong Some love is just a lie of the soul A constant battle for the ultimate state of control After you've heard lie upon lie There can hardly be a question of why Some love is just a lie of the heart The cold remains of what began with a passionate start But that can't happen to us Because it's always been a matter of trust But, THESE one speak to me in a way no other song has! Man do I ever know THAT feeling...: Billy Joel - And So It Goes In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense And still I feel I said too much My silence is my self defense And every time I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you soon I suppose But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows There is also "The Show Must Go On", "These Are The Days of Our Lives", "Don't Try So Hard", And "Mother Love". But, I figured there'd be NO need to post those on a Queen NB. ;) |

*follows trend* An Innocent Man - Billy Joel Some people stay far away from the door If there’s a chance of it opening up They hear a voice in the hall outside And hope that it just passes by Some people live with the fear of a touch And the anger of having been a fool They will not listen to anyone So nobody tells them a lie I know you’re only protecting yourself I know you’re thinking of somebody else Someone who hurt you But I’m not above Making up for the love You’ve been denying you could ever feel I’m not above doing anything To restore your faith if I can Some people see through the eyes of the old Before they ever get a look at the young I’m only willing to hear you cry Because I am an innocent man I am an innocent man Oh yes I am Some people say they will never believe Another promise they hear in the dark Because they only remember too well They heard somebody tell them before Some people sleep all alone every night Instead of taking a lover to bed Some people find that it’s easier to hate Than to wait anymore I know you don’t want to hear what I say I know you’re gonna keep turning away But I’ve been there and if I can survive I can keep you alive I’m not above going through it again I’ve not above being cool for a while If you’re cruel to me I’ll understand Some people run from a possible fight Some people figure they can never win And although this is a fight I can lose The accused is an innocent man I am an innocent man Oh yes I am An innocent man You know you only hurt yourself out of spite I guess you’d rather be a martyr tonight That’s your decision But I’m not below Anybody I know If there’s a chance of resurrecting a love I’m not above going back to the start To find out where the heartache began Some people hope for a miracle cure Some people just accept the world as it is But I’m not willing to lay down and die Because I am an innocent man I am an innocent man Oh yes I am An innocent man |

OK Dan- Here are my Billy Joel lyrics I find VERY moving. Like he wrote the song just for me. Do you ever feel like that? Got To Begin Again Well so, here I am at the end of the road Where do I go from here? I always figured it would be like this Still nothin' seems to be quite clear All the words have been spoken And the prophecy fulfilled But I just can't decide where to go Yes, it's been quite a day And I should go to sleep But tomorrow I will wake up and I'll know That I've got to begin again Though I don't know how to start Yes, I've got to begin again, and it's hard Well, it's been quite a while since I lifted my head And I'm sure the light will hurt my eyes I see the way that I've been spendin' my days And reality has caught my by surprise I was dreamin' of tomorrow, So I sacrificed today, And it sure was a grand waste of time And despite all the truth that's been thrown in my face I just can't get you out of my mind But I've got to begin again Though I don't know how to start Yes, I've got to begin again, and it's hard Yes, it's hard, oh, ooh, ooh |

Here's the greatest moving lyrics of all time: Well we're movin on up, To the east side. To a deluxe apartment in the sky. Movin on up, To the east side. We finally got a piece of the pie. Fish don't fry in the kitchen; Beans don't burn on the grill. Took a whole lotta tryin', Just to get up that hill. Now we're up in the big leagues, Gettin' our turn at bat. As long as we live, it's you and me baby, There ain't nothin wrong with that. Well we're movin on up, To the east side. To a deluxe apartment in the sky. Movin on up, To the east side. We finally got a piece of the pie. |

Elton John's One More Arrow He said I want to grow up And look like Robert Mitchum And I hope that when I'm gone There'll be some say that I miss him He must have been romantic He must have sensed adventure And I feel the steel of his strong will In the frame around his picture And he's one more arrow flying through the air One more arrow landing in a shady spot somewhere Where the days and nights blend into one And he can always feel the sun Through the soft brown earth that holds him Forever always young He could have been a boxer But the fight game seemed so dirty We argued once he knocked me down And he cried when he thought he'd hurt me Strictly from the old school He was quiet about his pain And if one in ten could be that brave I would never hate again One more arrow One more arrow One more arrow Forever always young |

I love that song NoOneButYou1975. 'Too Low For Zero' is a sadly underrated album. |
| NoOneButYou1975 12.03.2004 20:37 |
yeah that is an underrated album...my fav song he has done live before and i think on the last show of the breaking hearts tour he kind of choked up singing one of the lines...i'll admit i got goosebumps hearing it also... |

Boston - Livin' For You Livin' without you never could be so wrong Don't need to say it, I never waited so long Thinking about you in everthing I do Love for giving You know I'm just livin' for you And I, I never needed to lie Can't you see I believe in my heart when I'm saying It's love that you see You're just the one for me I'm praying Maybe I'm dreaming, don't want to wake up now Baby, I love you, I always knew it somehow Happened so easy, don't need to think it through It's not so amazing Been going so crazy for you Dreaming and hoping, hoping that dreams come true You're my religion, girl, I've been living for you Don't want to fight it, tried everything I know I won't deny it You're everywhere I try to go And I, I never needed to lie Can't you see I believe in my heart when I'm saying It's love that you see You mean the world to me I'm praying for you Knew it so easy, don't have to think it through Love is for giving I know I'm just livin' for you Love is for giving I know I'm just livin' for you |

Following the Billy Joel trend........this is so great. Just Billy and the piano. And So It Goes by Billy Joel In every heart there is a room A sanctuary safe and strong To heal the wounds from lovers past Until a new one comes along I spoke to you in cautious tones You answered me with no pretense And still I feel I said too much My silence is my self defense And every time I've held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns And so it goes, and so it goes And so will you soon I suppose But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break And this is why my eyes are closed It's just as well for all I've seen And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows So I would choose to be with you That's if the choice were mine to make But you can make decisions too And you can have this heart to break And so it goes, and so it goes And you're the only one who knows |
