Something Old New Borrowed&Some

Dan Fogelberg Something Old New Borrowed&Some Lyrics
1.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)


2.Songbird

Listen to the songbird, hear him singing
The song he loves he's singing just for you
The only reason that he is living
Just to try and make your dreams come true
If only for a moment or two
Oh hear the songbird...Lord he's soaring
Music has carried him away
See him smiling, feel his yearning
He's trying to put some magic in your day--yeah
So let the music carry you away--yeah
So let the music carry you away

Songs for his babies, some questions, some maybes
Songs of the sorrow and his hopes for tomorrow
Oh songbird, won't you carry me
Oh carry me away now, oh carry me away
Oh carry me, carry me, oh carry me away

Oh there is a songbird...Lord in the alley
And I listen as he wakes the day
And in my mind, Oh Lord I feel it dawning
And a brand new understanding of my way
I let the music carry me away--yeah
I let the music carry me away

Oh songbird, won't you carry me
Oh carry me away now, oh carry me away
Oh carry me, carry me, oh carry me away
But there is a songbird...Lord in the alley
And I listen as he wakes the day
In my mind, Oh Lord I feel it dawning
And a brand new understanding of my way
So let the music carry you away--yeah
So let the music carry you away
So let the music carry you away
So let the music carry you away


3.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


4.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


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.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

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

Moments fleet taste so 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
Look at the moonless night and tell me
How do we make love stay


7.Changing Horses

Lyrics:Daniel Fogelberg
Music:Daniel Fogelberg

Changing horses in the middle of
a stream
Gets you wet and sometimes cold
Changing faces in the middle of a dream
Gets you old
Oh, gets you old.

Looking farther than you'll ever hope
to see
Takes you places you don't know
Search for someone you can't ever hope
to be
And still you go
Oh, still you go.

Don't you think it's kind of sad to say,
Don't you think it's gonna change?
Makes you think you'll have to stay inside
For a while.

Changing horses in the middle of a
stream
Gets you wet and sometimes cold
Changing faces in the middle of a
dream
Gets you old.


8.Looking For A Lady

Lyrics:Daniel Fogelberg
Music:Daniel Fogelberg

Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady
To change my night to day

Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady
To chase my blues away.

Well, I have a few in mind
But none in particular
I have had them before
But nothing that was for sure.

And I'm in no position to barter
And I'm in no condition to play the
martyr
And I'm sadder certainly
But I'm smarter
And I find myself.

Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady
To share my empty bed
Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady
To soothe my aching head.

Well, I have a few in mind
But none in particular
I have had them before
But nothing that was for sure.

And my feelings have grown
rigid like a wooden post.
And my love is like a curtain
that has been drawn closed
And my life just isn't going
The way I thought it was supposed to
And I'm crying and I find myself.

Looking for a lady
I'm looking for a lady
To change my night to day.


9.You Better Think Twice

You better think twice about leaving me behind
Make up your mind about what you're gonna do
You know it ain't easy when your love hurts night and day
Oh how you please when I hear you call my name

Breathlessly I await the moment to surround you
Do not fear the song that makes you sing
It'll offer you wings to fly away
But do not expect to land if you can't stay

You better think twice about leaving me behind
Make up your mind about what you're gonna do
You take my advice, Oh woman, you got to choose
Take a little time, You got nothing more to lose

In time, you know my melody will haunt you
Your words can make it rhyme so easily
It ain't no sin, when love is real
So come on and let me know just how you feel

You better think twice about leaving me behind
Make up your mind about what you're gonna do
You take my advice, Oh woman, you got to choose
Take a little time, You got nothing more to lose


10.Don't Let The Sun Go Down

Old Chief Joseph gazed with a tearful eye
Stood on a mountaintop watching his people die
Laid down his rags and his weapons of war
And cried; From this day forever I will fight no more
Whoa brother, don't let that sun go down
Whoa brother, don't let that sun go down

Queen of England, lying at deaths dark door
Threw down her crown, she said I won't need this anymore
With a terminal breath, she raised up a cry
She said; All my possessions for one moment of time
Whoa mother, don't let that sun go down
Whoa mother, don't let that sun go down

What you gonna do man of flesh and bone
What you gonna say when it's your turn to go home
Walk down a road, feel that cold wind blow
You know in the end there's one walk your gonna walk alone

Christ at Calvary, nailed to his wooden tower
Writhing in agony, facing the the final hour
The sky turned as red as the color of blood
He cried out; Father forgive them for they know not what
Whoa Father, don't let that sun go down
Whoa Father, don't let that sun go down

What you gonna do man of flesh and bone
What you gonna say when it's your turn to go home
Walk down a road, hear that cold wind moan, moan, moan
You know in the end there's one walk your gonna walk alone
You know in the end there's one walk your gonna walk alone


11.Statesboro Blues

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
You got no love babe, to turn Uncle John from your door

I woke up this morning, had them Statesboro Blues
I woke up this morning, had them Statesboro Blues
I looked over in the corner, and grandpa seemed to have them too

Well my momma died and left me
My poppa died and left me
I ain't good lookin' baby
But somewhere I'm sweet and kind

I'm goin' to the country, baby do you want to go
If you can't make it baby, your sister Lucile said she wanna go

I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen
I love that woman, better than any woman I've ever seen
She treats me like a king, I treat her like a dog gone queen

Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
Wake up momma, turn your lamp down low
You got no love babe, to turn Uncle John from your door.


12.Blow Wind Blow

When the sun rose this mornin',
I didn have my baby by my side
Well when the sun rose this mornin',
I didn have my woman by my side
Well I didn know where she was,
She's out with another guy

And don't the sun look lonesome
She headed down the highway
Ya know the sun looks so lonesome
Settin' down behind the trees
Well don't the heart look lonesome
When your baby find someone else

Well blow wind, blow wind,
Blow my baby back to me
Yeah, blow wind, blow wind
Blow my baby back to me
Well you know
If I don't soon find my pine top
my heart's gonna be in misery

Well goodbye baby
I ain't got no more to say
Yeah, goodbye, goodbye
I ain't got no more to say
Well you know
I know you don't love me
Go ahead and have your way


13.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 a 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, she 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
She don't look back
She don't look back
She don't look back


14.Here Comes The Sun

Here comes the sun Do do do do
Here comes the sun
And I say It's alright

Little darling
It's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun Do do do do
Here comes the sun
And I say It's alright

Little darling
The smiles returning to the faces
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun Do do do do
And I say It's alright

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Little darling
I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling
It seems like years since it's been clear

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say It's alright

Here comes the sun Do do do do
Here comes the sun
It's alright It's alright
