ALMOST
CUT MY HAIR
by David Crosby
Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It's gettin kinda long
I coulda said it was in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Cause I feel like I owe it to someone
Must be because I had the flu' for Christmas
And I'm not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking at my mirror and seeing a police car
But I'm not giving in an inch to fear
Cause I missed myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone
When I finally get myself together
I'm going to get down in that sunny southern weather
And I find a place inside to laugh
Separate the wheat from the chaff
I feel like I owe it to someone

You can ride high atop your pony
I know you won't fall...
'cause the whole thing's phoney.
You can fly swingin from your trapeze
Scaring all the people...
but you never scare me
Bella donna...
And we fight...for the northern star
No speed limit...this is the fast lane
It's just the way that it is here
And you say...I never thought it could
Bella donna...we fight...
for the northern star
And the lady's feeling
Like the moon that she loved
Don't you know that the stars are
A part of us
And the lady's feeling
Just like the moon that she loved
And you say...I never thought it could
Bella donna
Come in out of the darkness...
You are in love with...
And I'm ready to sail...
It's just a feeling...
Sort of captures your soul
Bella donna...
And the woman may be awestruck
And the woman may truly care
but the woman is so tired...
So the woman dissappears...
Come in out of the darkness...
Bella donna...my soul...
Don't change...baby please don't change
And you say...
and your face becomes thin
You never thought it could
Come in out of the darkness
Bella donna...
You are in love with
And I'm ready to sail
It's just a feeling

CATHEDRAL
Graham
Nash
Six o' clock
In the morning, I feel pretty good
So I dropped into the luxury of the Lords
Fighting dragons and crossing swords
With the people against the hordes
Who came to conquer.
Seven o'clock
In the morning, here it comes
I taste the warning and I am so amazed
I'm here today, seeing things so clear this way
In the car and on my way
To Stonehenge.
I'm flying in Winchester cathedral
Sunlight pouring through the break of day.
Stumbled through the door and into the chamber;
There's a lady setting flowers on a table covered
lace
And a cleaner in the distance finds a cobweb on
a face
And a feeling deep inside of me tells me
This can't be the place
I'm flying in Winchester cathedral.
All religion has to have its day
Expressions on the face of the Savior
Made me say
I can't stay.
Open up the gates of the church and let me out of
here!
Too many people have lied in the name of Christ
For anyone to heed the call.
So many people have died in the name of Christ
That I can't believe it all.
And now I'm standing on the grave of a soldier that
died in 1799
And the day he died it was a birthday
And I noticed it was mine.
And my head didn't know just who I was
And I went spinning back in time.
And I am high upon the altar
High upon the altar, high.
I'm flying in Winchester cathedral,
It's hard enough to drink the wine.
The air inside just hangs in delusion,
But given time,
I'll be fine.

Is
this not the way it seems?

Do you always trust your first initial feeling
Special knowledge holds truth bears believing
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me thru the mountains
Thru the crystal-like clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea
How the faces of love have changed turning
the pages
And I have changed oh, but you...you remain
ageless
I turned around
And the water was closing all around
Like a glove
Like the love that had finally, finally found me
Then I knew
In the crystalline knowledge of you
Drove me thru the mountains
Thru the crystal-like clear water fountain
Drove me like a magnet
To the sea

DARK
STAR
Stephen
Stills
Forgive me if my fantasies might seem a
little shopworn
I'm sure you've heard it all before. I wonder
what's the right form
Love songs written for you, it's been going
down for years
But to sing what's in my heart seems more
honest than the tears.
I am curious, don't want to hurry us.
I'm intrigued with us.
Ain't this song a bust?
I don't care, dark star.
I met you several years ago,
The times they were so strange, but I had
a feeling.
You looked into my eyes just once,
An instant flashing by that we were stealing.
Another time you felt so bad,
And I wasn't any help at all as I recall.
We didn't quite know what to do so we left
the wanting be
Still there for me and you.
Dark star, I see you in the morning,
Dark star, a' sleeping next to me.
Dark star, let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me,
dark star.
It's easy to be with you
Even with the storms that rage beneath your
search for peace.
We must make some time together
Take the kids and find a world that's ours
to keep.
Now you've got me dreaming girl.
It's been so long that I thought that I'd
forgotten how.
My heart is once again my soul.
We touched, we did, you know we did, no
more teasing now.
Dark star, I see you in the morning,
Dark star, a' sleeping next to me.
Dark star, let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me,
dark star.

If I had ever been here before I would probably
know just what to do
Don't you?
If I had ever been here before on another time around
the wheel
I would probably know just how to deal
With all of you.
And I feel
Like I've been here before
Feel
Like I've been here before
And you know
It makes me wonder
What's going on under the ground
Do you know?
Don't you wonder?
What's going on down under you.
We have all been here before
We have all been here before
We have all been here before

Dust Woman
Stevie
Nicks
Rock on--gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon,
And dig your grave
Heartless challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray
Wake up in the morning
See your sunrise--loves--to go down
Lousy lovers--pick their prey
But they never cry out loud
Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Is it over now--do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home.
Rock on--ancient queen
Follow those who pale
In your shadow
Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale
Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Is it over now--do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home.

GUINNEVERE
David
Crosby
Guinnevere had green eyes
Like yours, mi'lady like yours
When she'd walk down
Through the garden
In the morning after it rained
Peacocks wandered aimlessly
Underneath an orange tree
Why can't she see me?
Guinnevere
Drew pentagrams
Like yours, mi'lady like yours
Late at night
When she thought
that no one was watching at all
On the
wall
She shall be free
As she turns her gaze
Down the slope
to the harbor where I lay
Anchored for a day
Guinnevere
Had golden hair
Like yours, mi'lady like yours
Streaming out when we'd ride
Through the warm wind down by the bay
Yesterday
Seagulls circle endlessly
I sing in silent harmony
We shall be free

So I'm back, to the velvet
underground
Back to the floor, that I love
To a room with some lace
and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy
that I was
To the gypsy...
that I was
And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does
Well, lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
Ah, and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
To the gypsy that remains
faces freedom with a little fear
I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love
She is dancing away from me now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And a memory is all
that is left for you now
You see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
Lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
And it all comes down to you
Lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
I still see your bright eyes,
bright eyes
And it all comes down to you
I still see your bright eyes,
bright eyes
And it all comes down to you
I still see your bright eyes,
bright eyes
(She was just a wish)
(She was just a wish)
And it all comes down to you
Lightning strikes,
maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

Has
Anyone Ever Written Anything
For You
Stevie
Nicks, Keith Olsen
Has anyone ever written anything for you
In all your darkest hours
Have you ever heard me sing
Listen to me now
You know I'd rather be alone
Than be without you
Don't you know
Has anyone ever given anything to you
In your darkest hours
Did you ever give it back
Well, I have
I have given that to you
If it's all I ever do
This is your song
And the rain comes down
There's no pain and there's no doubt
It was easy to say
I believed in you everyday
If not for me
Then do it for the world
Has anyone ever written anything for you
In your darkest sorrow
Did you ever hear me sing
Listen to me now
You know I'd rather be alone
Than be without you
Don't you know
So, if not for me, then
Do it for yourself
If not for me then
Do it for the world

JUST
A SONG BEFORE I GO
Graham
Nash
Just a song before I go,
To whom it may concern.
Travelling twice the speed of sound
It's easy to get burned.
When the shows were over
We had to get back home,
And when we opened up the door
I had to be alone.
She helped me with my suitcase,
She stands before my eyes
Driving me to the airport,
And to the friendly skies.
Going through security
I held her for so long.
She finally looked at me in love,
And she was gone.
Just a song before I go,
A lesson to be learned.
Travelling twice the speed of sound
It's easy to get burned.

Leather
and Lace
Stevie
Nicks
Duet recorded
with Don Henley
Is love so fragile...
and the heart so hollow
Shatter with words...
impossible to follow
You're saying I'm fragile...I try not to be
I search only...for something I can't see
I have my own life...and I am stronger
Than you know
But I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won't be walking out the door
Still I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won't be walking out the door
Lovers forever...face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather...
Take from me...my lace
You in the moonlight
With your sleepy eyes
Could you ever love a man like me
And you were right
When I walked into your house
I knew I'd never want to leave
Sometimes I'm a strong man
Sometimes cold and scared
And sometimes I cry
But that time I saw you
I knew with you to light my nights
Somehow I'd get by
First time I saw you
I knew with you to light my nights
Somehow I would get by
Lovers forever...face to face
My city or mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather
Take from me...my lace
Lovers forever...face to face
My city or mountains...stay with me stay
I need you to love me...I need you to stay
Give to me your leather
Take from me...my lace
Take from me...my lace
Take from me...my lace

Nightbird
Stevie
Nicks, S. Stewart
And the summer became the fall
I was not ready for the winter
It makes no difference at all
'Cause I wear boots all summer long
My eye-make-up is dark and it's careless
Some circles around my eyes
Sometimes the real color of my skin
Is my eyes without any shadow
And when I call
Will you walk gently
Thru my shadow
The ones who sing at night
The ones who sing at night
The ones you dream of
The ones who walk away
Capes pulled around them tight
Cryin' for the night
Cry for the nightbird...tonite
And so the winter is really here now
And the blankets that I love
I am surrounded sometimes
By too much love
And when I call
Will you walk gently
Thru my shadow
The ones who sing at night
The ones who sing at night
The ones you dream of
The ones who walk away
Capes pulled around them tight
Cryin' for the night
Cry for the nightbird...tonite
And the darkened eyes
Thru the net of the lace
In the darkness
It's hard to see her face
Pulls back the net
And you feel the touch
Of her fingers
And you see...she turns the eyes
And you see the eyes of a nightbird
The ones you dream of
Finally...the nightbird
Finally...the nightbird

When I see him --
I feel him.
There's an intenseness
In him --
In his eyes.
He wants me to be with him --
He wants me with him now.
She just seems to be missing. . .
How could that happen
Anyhow?
So, how can you say,
Well, I don't know what love is?
You have it --
And you have no time for it.
You feel completely indifferent --
You feel pushed up against the wall --
Then, one day
It just almost goes away!
You spend lots of time alone --
Sometimes you spend years,
And you miss those arms that used to go around you.
Night after night,
No Questions Asked --
And, who gets the cold wind
Of it all everytime?
Well, it's hard to be civil
And it's real hard to be nice!
But you did it, my Love,
Everytime --
So, how can you say
Well, I can't see you,
Not now,
Not tomorrow,
Not until it's right
Not until --
Neither of us is pushed up against the wall.
I don't throw the cold wind
Of it at you anymore!
So today, she says,
Well, I've changed my mind.
That's a woman's right, they say.
Well, I -- (Well, I --)
Well, I'm frightened,
And I'm lost.
And I can't give you up.
Not now.
I need you now.
I'm broken hearted --
I broke down
Like a little girl.
Well, I need you now.
Well, I'm broken-hearted.
Well, I broke down like a little girl.
