Phoenix
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg



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
