Captured Angel
Found your heart
And lost your lover
Lick your wounds
And run for cover.
Take your time
There'll be another
And don't make the same
mistake twice
Unless you can pay the price.
All the years
You spent in growing
End up one more
Line you're towing
Don't look now
Your age is showing
And it's much too late
To turn back
You better pull in the slack.
Captured Angel
Aching to make your break
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.
Sold your dreams
For sweet salvation
Left with righteous indignation
Now it seems that you
face starvation
And nourishment doesn't
come cheap
You better go back to sleep.
Captured Angel
Aching to make your break
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.
"Captured Angel" - Words and music by Daniel Fogelberg

an inconsistency in the layout of the 2nd chorus is probably a
typo in the original printed lyrics inside the gatefold LP
jacket. However, for the sake of authenticity, I am copying
the lyrics verbatim.)
