Dan Fogelberg Super Hits Lyrics
1.The Power Of Gold

The story is told of the power of gold
And its lure on the unsuspecting
It glitters and shines, it badgers and blinds
And constantly needs protecting

Balance the cost of the soul you lost
with the dreams you lightly sold
Are you under the power of gold

The letters and calls got you climbing the walls
And everyone wants a favor
They beg to remind you of times left behind you
But you know the past is a loser

The face you're wearing is different now
And the days run hot and cold
Are you under the power of gold

You're a creature of habit, run like a rabbit
Scared of a fear you can't name
Your own paranoia is looming before you
And nobody thinks that it's a game

Balance the cost of the soul you lost
With the dreams you lightly sold
Then tell me that you're free of the power of gold
The power of gold

The women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's something about the song that disturbs you
The women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's something about the song that disturbs you
The women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's something about the song that disturbs you

3.Phoenix

I have cried too...I have cried too long
I have cried too...I have cried too long
No more sorrow...got to carry on

Found deep water before I'd even learned to swim
Found deep water before I'd even learned to swim
Never thought I'd see the sun again
Once I was a...once I was a man alone
Once I was a...once I was a man alone
Now I've found a heart to call my home
Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames
Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames
No more living someone else's dreams

I have cried too...I have cried too long
I have cried too...I have cried too long
No more sorrow...got to carry on
You almost had me, old lady You almost tied me down good
You played the lady in waiting And I waited as long as I could
Too long the songs have been silent Too long the strings have
been still
I never knew what you wanted And I guess that I never will
Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames
Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames
No more living someone else's dreams

I have cried too...I have cried too long
I have cried too...I have cried too long
No more sorrow...got to carry on


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.The Language Of Love

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

I say leave when I mean stay
But she don't see and so she moves away
What we really want you know we rarely say
Such is the language of love

It's tooth for tooth and eye for eye
We hide our hearts and then we won't say why
It's truth for truth and lie for lie
Such is the language of love

One cries foul and will not speak
The other claims a little victory
And all the time you know we fail to see
This is the language of love

When a love begins to wander no one ever knows
But we feel it deep inside us
Long before it shows
Long before it shows

We hem and haw, we balk and bluff
Our words don't ever seem to say enough
But a simple smile and tender touch
Speaks the true language of love

When a love begins to wander no one ever knows
But we feel it deep inside us
Long before it shows
Long before it shows

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
Such is the language of love


6.Nexus

Across the vein of night there cuts a path of searing light
Burning like a beacon on the edges of our sight
At the point of total darkness and the lights divine divide
A soul can let its shadow stretch and land on either side,
either side
And balanced on the precipice the moment must reveal
Naked in the face of time, our race within the wheel
As we hang beneath the heavens, and we hover over hell
Our hearts become the instruments we learn to play so well
So wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight
Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright
Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light
Outside the pull of gravity, beyond the spectral veil
Within our careful reasoning, we search to no avail
For the constant in the chaos, for the fulcrum in the void
Following a destiny our steps cannot avoid
Across the vein of night there cuts a path of searing light
Burning like a beacon on the edges of our sight
At the point of total darkness and the lights divine divide
A soul can let its shadow stretch and land on either side
Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight
Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright
Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light
In a spiral never-ending are we drawn towards the source
Spinning at the mercy of an unrelenting force
So we stare into the emptiness and fall beneath the weight
Circling the Nexus in a fevered dance with fate
Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight
Stealthy the hunter who slays his own fright
Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light


7.Beggar's Game

I saw her first in a beggar's game
Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame
Those people knew her by another name
I knew that she'd be mine
I knew that she'd be mine

She took me in on a winter's night
The air was brittle and the moon was bright
My heart was heavy but her touch was light
Deep in the dance we wandered
Deep in my heart she fell

The candles glistened and the water gleamed
She drew a bath and the windows steamed
She looked like every woman ever dreamed
In the heart of a lonely man
In the heart of a lonely man

She took my blindness and she led me through
As night retreated and the daylight grew
And with the first rays of the sun I knew
Love had another captive
Love had another fool

The spell is broken and the chains fall free
Finally my heart has come home to me
It seems I've waited an eternity

I saw her first in a beggar's game
Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame
Those people knew her by another name
I knew that she'd be mine
I knew that she'd be mine

She took me in on a winter's night
The air was brittle and the moon was bright
My heart was heavy but her touch was light
Deep in the dance we wandered
Deep in my heart she fell

The spell is broken and the chains fall free
Finally my heart has come home to me
It seems I've waited an eternity


8.Tucson, Arizona(Gazette)

Tucson, Arizona rising in the heat like a mirage
Tony keeps his Chevy like a virgin locked in his garage
He brings it out at midnight and cruises down the empty
boulevards
And he prowls the darkened alleys that snake between the city's
thirsty yards
The lonely desert skies reflect the anger in his eyes and it is
dawn

His father died of drinking and left five children sinking with
his mom
His older brother Bobby never made it back from Viet Nam
With high school well behind him he lives at home and works this
shitty job
And he thinks his '60 Chevy is the only true amigo that he's got
His heart is filled with sadness and his soul is like some ugly
vacant lot

Mary Estelle Hanna came out from Louisiana for the sun
A deal gone bad in Dallas left her burned and broken on the run
To make the rent and groceries she takes this job at
three-fifteen an hour
Serving shots of whiskey and tequila in some smoky red-neck bar
And she dreams some day she'll make her way to L.A. and become a
movie star

Tony saw her working, he swallowed hard and asked her for a date
Mary laughed and answered; I would but every night I'm working
late
He said he had some cocaine that she could have if she'd just
ride along
She said; What the hell, I may as well, I haven't had no fun in
so damn long
He picked her up at closing time they pulled out on the road and
they were gone

Tony's mom got frantic when she found her son had not come home
Mary's roommate panicked and called the sheriff from a public
phone
They asked her lots of questions, She tried her best to tell
them what she saw
And late that night they found poor Mary lying in some narrow,
dusty draw
And the coroner reported that she hadn't been deceased for very
long

Two weeks on they found it buried to the windshield in the sand
There inside lay Tony with a small revolver in his hand
The papers simply stated it must have been the drugs that drove
him mad
And the neighbors speculated what could make a good boy go so
bad
Well, it might have been the desert heat
It might have been the home he never had


9.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 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, the lady 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


10.Longer

Lyrics:Dan Fogelberg
Music:Dan Fogelberg

Longer than every fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I'be been in love with you
(I am 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 fire in the winters
You'll sent showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls
And summers with love upon my 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
I'll be in love with you
