DESCRIPTION:
"Tullamore Dew was written as an instrumental prelude to the "Phoenix "album, It is also the name of a very fine Irish whiskey that I used to have quite an affinity for. Phoenix is a hard driving piece that I wrote about resurrection. We all suffer the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" but the human heart is an amazingly resilient muscle." (Dan Fogelberg)
Special thanks to Bobby for typing Dan's liner notes from Portrait Booklet for me!
Tullamore Dew (Instrumental) ~ Dan Fogelberg
Phoenix ~ Dan Fogelberg (Lyrics)

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
