Dan Fogelberg - Anastasia's Eyes Lyrics






There's thorns on the cactus tree
There's thorns on the rose
There's thorns in the heart of me
That nobody knows
They tear at the flesh until
The tears start to rise
They form in my heart
But they fall from Anastasia's eyes

And I was lost in the wilderness
Without courage or hope
I was setting my signal fires
And watching the smoke
When out of the smoke appeared
The sweetest surprise
And I knew I'd been found
When first I looked into Anastasia's eyes

There's thorns on the cactus tree
There's thorns on the rose
There's thorns in the heart of me
That nobody knows

But finally I've found out where my salvation lies
It lies in the love that lives in Anastasia's eyes
It lies in the love that lives in Anastasia's eyes

    I have never heard this song before. This song just shows you the beauty and the depth of Dan's voice. Pure and simple. I was blessed to have seen him 2 times back in the late 70's. I really need a turntable so I can play my.....no...His albums. Miss ya Dan but, your voice and story telling thru your songs and your voice will last forever!

    My nephew survived 9/11/01, but has never been the same. But, the love of his life, his wife, pulled him from the thorns.
    Her name is Anastasia.

    One of my all time favorites. It reminds me of my Lucinda.

  18. E.... K....

    What is the web page address for Anastasia Savage's artwork?

    E.... K....

    You can try Google search "Anastasia Ealy" , (her name before married to Dan Dogelberg) and find some, good luck finding...

    E.... K....

    Okay.  I never heard her name as "Ealy" before.  Thanks, Bill, for taking the time to respond :)

    Thank you for sharing your thought my friend, please also watch 3 other videos created by me from this album: Bones In The Sky, Georgia O'Keeffe & Ever On Dan!

    Thank you so much. 

  20. L.... C....

    Your image selections fit so well to this beautiful music. Thank you for sharing!

  21. L.... G....

    I was just playing and singing some old Fogelberg songs on my beautiful Takamine 12 string. But sadly it's no comparison to hearing Dans voice. I actually met him and partied with him in Santa Fe twice. He has long been an inspiration to me and my music writing. I know you're at peace now Dan , thank you so much for your beautiful lyrics, music and presence on this earth.

    L.... G....

    Lermo Glover That’s beautifully said!!🙏♥️😢👋🇦🇺

  22. J.... M....

    Bill, as usual, another beautiful video from you. Peace my friend. Be safe.I hope you find the peace ,you so richly deserve.

  23. T.... M....

    Thank you Dan and you-JMEagle101-for the beautiful videos w/Dans' music. It's a shame that the only songs of Dans' that many people have heard are 'Longer' and ' Another Old Lang Syne'; hopefully - by now they have discovered his catalogue-vast and amazing; each song deeply poetic and emotional. I remember when I first heard his music [and saw his art] at a friends' dorm in Arcata [it was many years ago! The song was 'Souvenirs'; his music still touches my soul and takes my breath away.

  24. J.... M....

    Bill, thank you for another beautiful video. Live long my friend, and please continue to bring us Dan, and your fantastic videos.

  25. b.... ....

    This is one of many Dan Fogelberg songs that has me crying each time I hear it! It is that poignant and beautiful! Love, BobbyIK

  26. J.... ....

    @QueridaSandra Dan’s lyrics and melodies have inspired me to come forward to create tribute videos to him after his passing, and I am glad I have done it and accomplished many. May his timeless music and boundless love continue to heal us through the toughest times, bring joy and happiness to you and stays in our hearts for ever on... God bless you always!

  27. S.... C....

    rip dan...i've been listenig to your music since the 70's and i always will

  28. D.... G....

    Simply beautiful. How restful it is to listen to DF's voice as he sings his powerful lyrics. We miss him greatly.

  29. T.... ....

    Incredibly beautiful video that matches the Love Dan is and always will be! Thank you!

  30. L.... S....

    Hello JMEagle,

    Another fabulous job. Thank you! I love this song and video. Rock 'n' Roll!!!

  31. b.... ....

    I was a Dan fan since 1975 when I first heard "To The Morning" on the radio, and thought to myself, I must find out who's singing this beautiful song! Sincerely, BobbyK

  32. b.... ....

    I have cried countless times to this song, but the tears fall effortlessly every time! Only when a man has lost true love, and is lucky to one day find it again, can he hope to understand this song! I miss you Dan! Love, BobbyK

  33. H.... ....

    ...see, hear, hope (a description can only fail to capture the breadth and depth)...

  34. L.... S....

    Amazing! Incredible song, fabulous images! How can anyone capture love in a song so well? Only Dan. Thank you for the video.

  35. c.... ....

    This is so Beautiful Bill and so touching!!! hugs, Charlene : ))

  36. a.... ....

    @Sandandthefoam Thank you, when I reviewed this project in the final stage, some thoughts came up to me strongly, inspired me that I should redo the video that Dan wrote for Jean in the Full Circle album, Jean is a beautiful caring person who gave Dan unconditional love and passions when Dan needed it the most. So I did it! Please continue to watch "This Heart ~ Dan Fogelberg", it's now the feature video in my channel. Thank you Jean!

  40. J.... ....

    @headcaseworker You are welcome Bev, we found comfort through Dan's heartfelt melody, although Dan wrote about himself, sometimes I felt he was telling our story because if it's not, why his music touched me so much?

  41. h.... ....

    Imagine Dan writing a love song just for you...how wonderful! Thank you, Bill, for this video, beautiful.

    We miss you, Dan....

  42. J.... ....

    @vuenu Really appreciate your favorite comment, it's an honor to be able to share how I feel about Dan's music through this channel, you seems to know me so well, it took time and devotion, many revision and editing works, before I can "wrap the gift box" and deliver to your window, thanks for your encouragement! Truly Dan is such a gentle soul, even though he is gone, his unchained melody continue to touch our hearts, move our feelings, and bring inspiration to our spirit! We are blessed!

    @charldrunner Thank you dear Charlene, wow, you are the 1st to comment, you are the winner, (while I am still editing some of more info.), it's Dan's heart felt voice and melody that inspired me to create this one, I am glad you like it, enjoy your weekend and good luck for your run! Hugs!
