Fogelberg Dan Empty Cages Lyrics

Empty Cages Lyrics

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.
Chorus
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...
