Drawing Pictures ~ Dan Fogelberg [ CC ]

Drawing Pictures - Dan Fogelberg
"Sometimes a song confirms why it is I should be doing this. This is very mature stuff by someone who at the time (age 21) had never been in a serious relationship. I do find the song just as relevant now as when it was written. I wrote it in '72 or '73 probably. This CD starts off like that period, so I thought, 'Why not bring a song from that time?' I always loved 'Drawing Pictures.' It was one of those songs that kept getting pushed aside. Irving Azoff, my manager at the time, used to love it and would say, 'You've got to put this on that album.' But for one reason or another through the years I didn't. Finally 30 years later, this beautiful song made it to an album. I don't know who it was written for or about, or where I was when I wrote it. I honestly don't remember. But it was a song always there that kept saying, 'Hey, don't forget about me.' " ~ Dan Fogelberg
***************************************
(Drawing Pictures Lyrics)
Paper people in a raging fire
Trying to keep the cold away
Talking tangled in a thorny briar
Lost with nothing left to say
Always racing for the night to hide us
Never listening to the love inside us

No one ever told us we were wrong
No one said when love is weak
It may be getting strong
She searched for a shoulder
And mine was gone

Drawing pictures in the sand
Trying to tease the time to stay
Wishing water never met the land
To wash the dreams away
Taking turns at being friends and lovers
Hearing what we both believe from others

No one ever told us we were wrong
No one said when love is weak
It may be getting strong
She searched for a shoulder
And mine was gone

@ol55able Dank u voor uw reactie mijn lieve vriend

Wow. She searched for a shoulder and mine was gone. When I was 21 I was still ryming love with dove and shove. Amazing. Thanks.

[JMEagle101]

Thank you my friend.

This is a mature song written by Dan at the age of 21 but in my opinion he was always ahead of himself beginning with Home Free. So glad that this was finally released. We will never forget you Dan. Thank you again JM. "No one said when love is weak it may be getting stronger." I can totally relate to my first love at the age of 21 w/these words. If we had only known / heard these words then.... Beautiful, Dan, as always. Thank you yet again, JM. Brings back many memories/makes me wonder....

Great composition and awesome interpretation. I love Florence Warner´s version from the eighties in her Lp "Another Hot Night". Just makes my tears met the land to wash my dreams away.
