These Days

Per the 1975 FullMoon/Epic release "Captured Angel" album sleeve (remember

those)...the lyrics to "These Days" are as follows:

I used to think of myself as a soldier

Holding his own against impossible odds

Badly outnumbered and caught in a crossfire

Of devils and gods.

All I ever wanted to be was free

All I ever looked for was what was within my eyes to see

Oh, but, these days

Are just like you and me

Oh, but, these days

Are just like you and me.

You used to be something I could believe in

How could you let me foresake myself so.

You used to think of your life as a riddle

With no answer known.

All you ever wanted to be was free

All you ever looked for was what was within your sights to see

Oh, but these days

Are just like you and me

Oh, but, these days

Are just like you and me.

We used to live like there was no tomorrow

Tasting our trials a day at a time

Crying for justice and laughing at sorrow

Such innocent crimes.

All we ever wanted to be was free

All we ever looked for was what was within our sights to see

Oh, but these days

Are just like you and me

Oh, but, these days

Are just like you and me

Just like you and me.

You know they're just like you and me.

(This is one of my favorites. By the way, just saw Dan at the

Bloomsburg, PA fair Sept. 30, and he looked great and sounded

better than ever!)
