Dan Fogelberg Lyrics for Song: Empty Cages
 Lyrics for Album: Portrait: Music Of Dan Fogelberg From 1972-1997 [1997]
 
 
 
 26949>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
 
 
 
 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
 
 26949>
