Dan Fogelberg - The Innocent Age lyrics

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.

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.

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.
