Fogelberg foi um componente chave da idade de ouro do cantor confessional e compositor, juntando-se os gostos de James Taylor, Carole King, Jackson Browne e mais foco na transformação de música pop do interior após a explosão dos anos 60 do comentário social. Ele tinha começado como um roqueiro em bandas em torno de sua cidade natal de Peoria, Illinois, mas iniciou sua carreira solo, enquanto freqüentava a Universidade de Illinois.
Suas canções mais lembradas incluem o seu maior hit
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
GEmF There's a love in my life, neither mistress or wife AmGFEm And she waits for me every morning by the sea AmGEmF Where the fishing hawk wheels and the sun warms the seals AmGAm There she lays at her silent anchorage for me
GEmF She is fine, she is fleet, she will run, reach or beat AmGFEm With a song in her rigging and her sails AmGEmF And when day is done, we will lay-to as one AmGAm And sleep 'neath the rolling rhythm of the stars
CHORUS: FEmFC And we sail away, off to Jericho Bay AmD7G Where the blue of the sea meets the sky FEmFC And the song that she sings me, it brings me such peace AmD7G When the seas rise up angry and high FCCmaj7C She's a friend of mine, The Minstrel
AmGEmF There are loons off to port and the porpoises sport AmGFEm In her wake, as she breaks the rolling main AmGEmF And with the wind in her sails, we will run with the whales AmGAm As they swim through their dark, diminishing domain
CHORUS: FEmFC And we sail away, off to Jericho Bay AmD7G Where the blue of the sea meets the sky FEmFC And the song she sings me, it brings me such peace AmD7G When the seas rise up angry and high FCCmaj7C She's a friend of mine, The Minstrel
