Phoenix Lyrics by Dan Fogelberg

Phoenix

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.
