words and music by Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John
McVie and Stevie Nicks

Listen to the wind blow
Watch the sun rise

Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies

And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain

Listen to the wind blow
Down comes the night

Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies

Break the silence
Damn the dark
Damn the light

And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain.

. . .


words and music by Stevie Nicks

Now here you go again
You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat...drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost...
And what you had...
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say...women...they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean...you'll know

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and...
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness...
Like a heartbeat...drives you mad...
In the stillness of remembering what you had...
And what you lost
What you had...
And what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say...women...they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean...you'll know

. . .


words and music by Christine McVie

Can you hear me calling
Out your name
You know that I'm falling
And I don't know what to say

I'll speak a little louder
I'll even shout
You know that I'm proud
And I can't get the words out

Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
(Wanna be with you everywhere)

Something's happening
Happening to me
My friends say I'm acting peculiarly

C'mon baby
We better make a start
You better make it soon
Before you break my heart

Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
(Wanna be with you everywhere)

Can you hear me calling
Out your name
You know that I'm falling
And I don't know what to say

Come along baby
We better make a start
You better make it soon
Before you break my heart

Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
Oh I...
I want to be with you everywhere
(Wanna be with you everywhere)

Rhiannon rings like a bell thru the night
And wouldn't you love to love her
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover
And who will be her lover

All your life you've never seen
A woman - taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win...

She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark -
And when the sky is starless -

All your life you've never seen -
A woman - taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win...

Dreams unwind.
Love's a state of mind.

. . .



I been alone
All the years
So many ways to count the tears
I never change
I never will
I'm so afraid the way I feel

Days when the rain and the sun are gone
Black as night
Agony's torn at my heart too long
So afraid
Slip and I fall and I die.

I been alone
Always down
No one cared to stay around
I never change
I never will
I'm so afraid the way I feel

Days when the rain and the sun are gone
Black as night
Agony's torn at my heart too long
So afraid
Slip and I fall and I die.

. . .


music and lyrics by Christine McVie

Where are you darling when my moon is rising
And your sun is shining down
What are you doing are you missing me
The way that I'm missing you now

The river goes on and on
And the sea that divides us
Is a temporary one
And the bridge will bring us back together

What are you doing going down into Soho
As I get my rest tonight
What are you doing are you
Busy with your world
Well I wish you were busy with mine

The river goes on and on
And the sea that divides us
Is a temporary one
And the bridge will bring us back together

The river goes on and on
And the sea that divides us
Is a temporary one
And the bridge will bring us back together

. . .


music and lyrics by Lindsey Buckingham

Once again she steals away
Then she reaches out to kiss me
And how she takes my breath away
Pretending that she don't miss me

Oh...I would bleed to love her
Ooooh...bleed to love her
Whoa...I would bleed to love her

And once again she calls to me
Then she vanishes in thin air
And how she takes my breath away
Pretending that she don't care

Oh...I would bleed to love her
Ooooh...bleed to love her
Whoa...I would bleed to love her

Somebody's got to see this through
All the world is laughing at you
Somebody's got to sacrifice
If this whole thing's gonna turn out right

Oh...I would bleed to love her
Ooooh...bleed to love her
Whoa...I would bleed to love her

. . .


words and music by Lindsey Buckingham

Looking out for love
In the night so still
Oh I'll build you a kingdom
In that house on the hill
Looking out for love
Big, big love

You said that you love me
And that you always will
Oh you begged me to keep you
In that house on the hill
Looking out for love
Big, big love

I wake up alone
With it all
I wake up
But only to fall

Looking out for love
Big, big love
Just looking out for love
Big, big love

. . .



I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too

Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down

If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down

. . .



Have mercy, baby on a poor girl like me,
You know I'm falling, falling, falling at your feet,
I'm tingling right from my head to my toes,
So help me, help me, help me make the feeling go.

Cause when the loving starts, and the lights go down,
And there's not another living soul around,
Then you woo me until the sun comes up,
And you say that you love me.

Have pity baby,
Just when I thought it was over,
You've got me running, running, running for cover,
I'm begging you baby for a little sympathy,
'Cause if you use me again it'll be the end of me.

'Cause when the loving starts, and the lights go down,
And there's not another living soul around,
Then you woo me until the sun comes up,
And you say that you love me.

Baby, baby, hope you're going to stay away,
'Cause I'm getting weaker, weaker, weaker everyday,
I guess I'm not as strong as I used to be,
And if you use me again it'll be the end of me.

'Cause when the lovin' starts, and the lights go down,
And there's not another living soul around,
Then you woo me until the sun comes up,
And you say that you love me.

Fallin' fallin' fallin'
Fallin' fallin' fallin'

. . .


music and lyrics by Lindsey Buckingham

My little demon coming on down
My little demon turning me around
All my friends, all telling me
That I just ain't the man I used to be

I really don't like it
Ain't nothing I can do
I really don't like it
I'm leaving it to you

My little demon's making me choose
Making me an offer I can't refuse
Hard as a rock, dry as a bone
Big dog, little dog I will take you home

I really don't like it
Ain't nothing I can do
I really don't like it
I'm leaving it to you

Why try to hide it
Fight it, fight it

I really don't like it
Ain't nothing I can do
I really don't like it
I'm leaving it to you

My little demon
Is coming after me
My little demon
It's all that I can do
To keep that little demon
To keep that little demon
Yes, to keep that little demon
Away from you

. . .


music and lyrics by Stevie Nicks

You could be my silver spring
Blue-green colors flashing
I would be your only dream
Your shining over ocean crashing

Don't say that she's pretty
And did you say that she loved you
Baby, I don't want to know

So I begin not to love you
Turn 'round, see me running
I say I loved you years ago
But tell myself you never loved me no

And don't say that she's pretty
And did you say that she loved you
Baby I don't want to know

Oh no
And can you tell me was it worth it
Baby I don't want to know

Time cast a spell on you
But you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me

Time cast a spell on you
But you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me

I follow you down 'till the sound
Of my voice will haunt you
(Give me just a chance)
You'll never get away from the sound
Of the woman who loves you
(Was I just a fool)

I follow you down 'till the sound
Of my voice will haunt you
(Give me just a chance)
You'll never get away from the sound
Of the woman who loves you
(Was I just a fool)

. . .


words and music by Christine McVie

Sweet wonderful you
You make me happy with the things you do
Oh, can it be so
This feeling follows me wherever I go.

I never did believe in miracles
But I've a feeling it's time to try
I never did believe in the ways of magic
But I'm beginning to wonder why

Don't, don't break the spell
It would be different and you know it will
You, you make loving fun
And I don't have to tell you you're the only one

You make loving fun
You make loving fun

. . .


music and lyrics by Stevie Nicks

And he says what do you love to do
Outside your world who spends time with you
To whom do you run
When you're not working
Sweet girl

Where would you go
If you had the time
Crossing some crazy state line somewhere
To whom do you cry when people are unkind
Sweet girl

But I chose to dance across the stages of the world
Everyone said I'd never learn
And I still hear your words
Well I waited all my life for you
Sweet girl

I did try to come back and listen
You never knew it
I didn't wish it
I did hear every answer to every question
It's all about protection

Still through the sunlight days I wait
Track a ghost through the fog
The sun is burning and
You come running out into the wind with me
The ocean is your blanket

But I chose to dance across the stages of the world
Everyone said I'd never learn
And I still hear your words
Well I waited all my life for you

I want to fly through the world in a golden ball
Many of the cities, well I never saw at all
Sometimes I feel I was always on call
Sometimes even I am allowed to fall

He says come down here for a minute
Well, come down here for a minute
He says come down here for a minute
Sweet girl
Sweet girl

. . .


words and music by Lindsey Buckingham

Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I change things that I feel

If I could
Maybe I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you wanna do

If I could
Baby I'd give you my world
Open up
Everything's waiting for you

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

. . .


words and music by Lindsey Buckingham

Why don't you ask him if he's going to stay
Why don't you ask him if he's going away?
Why don't you tell me what's going on?
Why don't you tell me who's on the phone?
Why don't you ask him what's going on?
Why don't you ask him who's the latest on the throne?

Don't say that you love me!
Just tell me that you want me!
Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!
Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!
Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!
Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!
Tusk!

. . .


words and music by Christine McVie

If you wake up and don't want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You'll see things in a different way.

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

Why not think about times to come
And not about the things that you've done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do.

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
I know you don't believe that it's true
I never meant any harm to you.

Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be, better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

Don't you look back
Don't you look back.
