Lyrics: Dan Fogelberg. The Innocent Age.

Capture the moment
Carry the day
Stay with the chase
As long as you may

Follow the dreamer
The fool and the sage
Back to the days
Of the innocent age

Storybook endings
Never appear
They're just someone's way
Of leading us here

Waiting for wisdom
To open the cage
We forged in the fires
Of the innocent age

Back at the start
It was easy to see
No one to own to
Nowhere to be

Deep in the heartlands
A sad memory
Calls to me
(Calls to me)

Fretful horizons
Worrisome skies
Tearful misgivings
Burning your eyes

Yearnings unanswered
Reckon the wage you
Pay to recapture
The innocent age

Back at the start
It was easy to see
No one to own to
Nowhere to be

Deep in the heartlands
A sad memory
Calls to me
(Calls to me)

Fretful horizons
Worrisome skies
Tearful misgivings
Burning your eyes

Yearnings unanswered
Reckon the wage you
Pay to recapture
The innocent age
