Captured Angel
This song is on Dan Fogelberg's 1975 Album "Captured Angel" Found
your heart and lost your lover All the
years that you spent in growing Captured
Angel aching to make your break Sold
your dreams for sweet salvation Captured
Angel aching to make your break ~~~ Dan
Fogelberg ~~~ Fallen Angel www.webshots.com
In 1975 I was at my friend Patty Sneed's house in Gilbert, Arizona and she put the album Captured Angel on the turntable for me to listen to
I went out and bought that album and it was my first introduction to Dan Fogelberg's music - I now have the CD
May she rest in peace - She passed away May 21,2022 and is buried behind her dad Dale Sneed in the Mesa, Arizona cemetery across the street from where I live
The majority of the album was recorded at a studio in South Pekin, Illinois; Fogelberg had returned home to care for his ill father

Lick your wounds and run for cover
Take your time and there'll be another
And don't make the same mistake twice
Unless you can pay the price
End up one more line you're towing
Don't look now but your age is showing
And it's much too late to turn back
You better pull in the slack
Your freedom's at stake
You better fly now
Fly now, fly now while your wings are still young
Your cage door's been flung wide open
And I'm hoping you see
That there's a place beside me
If you ever need it
Left with righteous indignation
Now it seems that you face starvation
And nourishment doesn't come cheap
You better go back to sleep
Your freedom's at stake
You better fly now
Fly now, fly now while your wings are still young
Your cage door's been flung wide open
And I'm hoping you see
That there's a place beside me
If you ever need it
