The Sand And The Foam - Dan Fogelberg
Inspired by Khalil Gibran's book "Sand and Foam".
from The Innocent Age Album (released 1981)
(The Sand And The Foam Lyrics)
Dawn, like an angel, lights on the step
Muting the morning she heralds
Dew on the grass like the tears the night wept
Gone long before the day wears old
(Chorus)
Time stills the singing a child holds so dear
And I'm just beginning to hear
Gone are the pathways the child followed home
Gone like the sand and the foam
Pressed in the pages of some aging text
Lies an old lily a-crumbling
Marking a moment of childish respects
Long since betrayed and forgotten
(Chorus)
(Repeat First Verse and Chorus)
Gone like the sand
Gone like the sand
Gone like the sand and the foam

It's official, Bill. Going through them all. Thankimg you, Bill, is inadequate. Thanking you, Dan, is inadequate. I should have told you how much all you sang to me while you were here meant to me; we literally grew up together; how I wish I had told you then....not now... but I believe you can hear me.... as I continue to hear you....

Listen to his precision -- no sliding, no measures mostly grace notes. Everything he does is for a purpose. Glorious!

If this music reaches your heart you know love.If these words find your soul you know peace.If Dan Fogelberg captivated a moment in your life you know your life is that much better...if only for a moment.But Dan has made my life better because he taught me it is o.k. to express love for my wife, my family and friends through his words and music.God bless him.

...these notes, these silences, these progressions helped throw light on some deep cellular memories that have troubled me. Like the sand and the foam on a washing beach new ways to forgive and untangle the missteps resound to the last measure...

To combine Fogelberg and Gibran -- par excellence, JM -- almost too good for the likes of YouTube and the Internet! We thank you!
-
Another classic piece, nice one JM.

This song has actually brought me to tears. There aren't many songs that can do that. Dan was more than just a songwriter and musician. He had a deep appreciation of all the finer things in life, and thru his music he has taught me to do the same. He has made a profound impact on my life and how I live it.

Wow! Love it. Used to sing this to my niece & nephew at bedtime (along with Gypsy Wind), watching their eyes slowly closing to a deep sleep. Wonder what they dreamt? Wonder if they remember......??
