Loose Ends Lyrics - Fogelberg Dan

Climbing a mountain 

In darkness 

Stranded alone on the ledge. 

Every attempt that I make to hold on 

Pushes me nearer the edge. 

Sensing the changes impending 

My thoughts are diffused by despair 

I feel like I'm swimming straight up 

Underwater 

Desperately racing for air 

I'm racing for air. 

And the chords struck at birth 

Grow more distant 

Yet, we strike them again and again. 

And we plead and we pray 

For a glimmer of day 

As the night folds its wings 

And descends 

Exposing the loose ends. 

Surrounding myself with possessions 

I surely have more than I need 

I don't know if this is justice, 

hard earned, 

Or simply a matter of greed 

A matter of greed. 

And the chords struck at birth 

Grow more distant 

Yet, we strike them again and again. 

And we plead and we pray 

For a glimmer of day 

As the night folds its wings 

And descends... 

Exposing the loose ends. 

And the chords struck at birth 

Grow more distant 

Yet, we strike them again and again. 

And we plead and we pray 

For a glimmer of day 

As the night folds its wings 

And descends... 

Exposing the loose ends.
