Dan Fogelberg - Phoenix lyrics

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
