Lyrics Dan Fogelberg

Dan Fogelberg

Exiles

Exiles running from each other

We are exiles, living undercover

Looking for another day to make it all work out

Exiles standing in the shadows

We are exiles, weary of the battles

Looking for another day to make it all work out

You sit there and I sit here

Looking at you used to be like looking in a mirror

But now it's dark, no light reflects

It never ends like one expects

I don't know where we went wrong

If I knew that I'd never had to write this song

But here we stand so far apart

Separate pieces of a broken heart

We live like exiles running from each other

We are exiles, living undercover

Looking for another day to make it all work out

Exiles standing in the shadows

We are exiles, weary of the battles

Looking for another day to make it all work out

You said you need time to think

But I just couldn't go on living on the brink

So now we take this frozen stance

In hopes that we'll find one more chance

Different wants and different needs

Moving through our changes at such different speeds

I don't know why and I don't know when

But somewhere we'll find love again

Exiles running from each other

We are exiles, living undercover

Looking for another day to make it all work out

Exiles running from each other

We are exiles, living undercover

Looking for another day to make it all work out

Exiles standing in the shadows

We are exiles looking for another day to make it all work out
