Dan Fogelberg - Empty Cages video free download
This is the 8th track on Disc 2 of the double album "The Innocent Age"
Waiting in the wings
Your courage sings before
you falter...
It's just another way to say
What's there but never
shows.
It's just another day to lay
Your sins before the altar.
And where it's going to end
this time around
Nobody knows.
Every time it seems that you
Have gained an understanding
Those devils at your heels
Reach up and try to tip the scales.
Waking from a dream
You see it's all been
Done without you.
And every vain attempt to
make it stay
Is destined to fail.
Chorus
Fury rages through your
restless days
Shades of time that's gone
before
Empty cages where the
prisoner plays
'Til the door swings closed
behind for evermore...
Evermore...
Evermore...
Long before we come of
Age we yearn to leave
The garden
And wrestle with a myth
The hand of fate
Has faintly drawn.
But somewhere on the way
We feel our hearts begin
to harden
And see just as we learn
to turn around
The garden is gone.
Fury rages through your
restless days
Shades of time that's gone
before
Empty cages where the
prisoner plays
'Til the door swings closed
behind for evermore...
Evermore...
Evermore...

Would love to get my hands on the masters for this song and find out how long this solo goes on after the fade. My guess is quite awhile because they were kicking it on this song!!11 years ago

You are correct and only a few artists could pull it off like Dan.11 years ago

The innocent age on the whole and this song in particular, is so haunting and and beautiful I feel that it is a haven for lost souls. I often sit and rejuvenate my spirit with this album and song.12 years ago

I love how the birds (doves?) disappear gradually until the end of the song when they're all gone. Masterful!12 years ago

I recommend listening to "Innocent Age" straight through some time, just paying attention to it. Maybe on a long car trip by yourself; it's what I used to do when I went to pick my daughter up from college (four hour trip). You'll discover that there's a reason why the songs are in the order they are, and that there are themes that run through them.12 years ago

Actually, that wasn't me, but the program I used. It has a limit to how long a song can be.12 years ago
