These Days

From: BS7841@mis.hrb.com Subject: Re: REQ: Lyrics to D. Fogelberg's "These Days" Per the 1975 FullMoon/Epic release "Captured Angel" album sleeve (remember those)...the lyrics to "These Days" are as follows: I used to think of myself as a soldier Holding his own against impossible odds Badly outnumbered and caught in a crossfire Of devils and gods. All I ever wanted to be was free All I ever looked for was what was within my eyes to see Oh, but, these days Are just like you and me Oh, but, these days Are just like you and me. You used to be something I could believe in How could you let me foresake myself so. You used to think of your life as a riddle With no answer known. All you ever wanted to be was free All you ever looked for was what was within your sights to see Oh, but these days Are just like you and me Oh, but, these days Are just like you and me. We used to live like there was no tomorrow Tasting our trials a day at a time Crying for justice and laughing at sorrow Such innocent crimes. All we ever wanted to be was free All we ever looked for was what was within our sights to see Oh, but these days Are just like you and me Oh, but, these days Are just like you and me Just like you and me. You know they're just like you and me. (This is one of my favorites. By the way, just saw Dan at the Bloomsburg, PA fair Sept. 30, and he looked great and sounded better than ever!) Barb
