Dan Fogelberg - Song For A Carpenter (Lyrics)

#danfogelberg #lyrics #songforacarpenter

"Included here for the first time, I recorded this with the Chieftains in 1983 for "Windows And Walls" The Chieftains were on tour and I managed to get them to come in the studio on a day off. One of the most enjoyable sessions I've ever done and without a doubt the only time I've ever had Guinness Stout for breakfast. For Bryan and Seth." (Dan Fogelberg)

11 years ago, I uploaded this video for Happy Birthday for Dan! (That would be his 61st Birthday!) Tonight, I add lyrics to the video.
Thank you for all the great songs and music you left us Dan.
We miss you so much, Dan.

Featuring "Song For A Carpenter" one of his happy tunes with The Chieftains (Recorded 1983) when he was 32 years old, Dan will bring us to Maine, he sings a song for the love of the land, he tells us the story of a carpenter (his neighbor in Maine).
Let the music play! Enjoy!
