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

  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.

COWGIRL IN THE SAND Neil Young Hello, cowgirl in the sand. Is this place at your command? Can I stay here for a while? Can I see your sweet sweet smile? Old enough now to change your name When so many love you is it the same? It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game Hello ruby in the dust Has your band begun to rust? After all the sin we've had I was hopin' that we'd turn bad Old enough now to change your name When so many love you is it the same? It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game Hello woman of my dreams, Is this not the way it seems? Purple words on a grey background To be a woman and to be turned down Old enough now to change your name When so many love you is it the same? It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game

  Crystal
Stevie Nicks

  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.   copyright 1977, Gold Hill Music, Inc., ASCAP.

    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
    We have all been here before

Gold 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.   Rumours (1977); Fleetwood Mac - The Chain (boxed set) (1992) appears on The Dance video (1997)

    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

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.   copyright 1977, Thin Ice Music, ASCAP.     Crosby, Stills, Nash

  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   Tonite The Wild Heart (1983); The Enchanted Boxed Set (1998)

  No Questions Asked
Stevie Nicks

  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.

  (I need you now)
  No Questions Asked
  Well, I broke down like a little girl.

  (I need you now)
  No Questions Asked
  I broke down like a little girl.

  Like a little girl.

  Sara
Stevie Nicks

  Wait a minute baby. . .
  Stay with me awhile
  Said you'd give me light
  But you never told me about the fire

  Drowning in the sea of love
  Where everyone would love to drown
  And now it's gone
  It doesn't matter anymore
  When you build your house
  Call me home

  And he was just like a great dark wing
  Within the wings of a storm
  I think I had met my match--he was singing
  And undoing the laces
  Undoing the laces

  Drowning in the sea of love
  Where everyone would love to drown
  And now it's gone
  It doesn't matter anymore
  When you build your house
  Call me home

  Hold on
  The night is coming and the starling
  flew for days
  I'd stay home at night all the time
  I'd go anywhere, anywhere
  Ask me and I'm there because I care

  Sara, you're the poet in my heart
  Never change, never stop
  And now it's gone
  It doesn't matter what for
  When you build your house
  I'll come by

  Drowning in the sea of love
  Where everyone would love to drown
  And now it's gone
  It doesn't matter anymore
  When you build your house
  Call me home

  All I ever wanted
  Was to know that you were dreaming
  (There's a heartbeat
  And it never really died)

Sweet Girl
Stevie Nicks

  And he says, "What do you love to do?
  Outside your world,
  Who spends time with you
  From whom do you learn 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

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

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

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

  I chose to dance across the stages of the world
  Everyone said I'd never learn
  I still hear your words
  Well, I waited all my life for you
  I watched you fly across the world in a golden ball
  Many of the cities, I never saw at all

  Sometimes I think I was always on-call
  Sometimes even I am allowed to fall
  He says, come down here for a minute...Sweet Girl...

  TREETOP FLYER
Stephen Stills

    I could be a rambler from the
    Seven dials
    I don't pay taxes 'cause I
    Never file
    I don't do business that don't
    Make me smile
    I love my aeroplane 'cause
    She got style

    I'm a treetop flyer

    I'll fly any cargo that
    You can pay to run
    The bush league pilots they just
    Can't get the job done you got to
    Fly down into the canyons you don't never see the sun
    There's no such thing as an
    Easy run

    For a treetop flyer

    I fly low I'm in
    High demand
    Go fifteen feet over the
    Rio Grande
    I blow the mesquite
    Right up off of the sand I'm
    Seldom seen
    'Specially when I land

    I'm a treetop flyer
    Born survivor

    People been askin' me where'd ya learn to
    Fly that way
    Was over in Viet Nam
    Chasin' N.V.A.
    The government taught me
    An' they taught me right
    Stay down under the treeline
    You might be all right

    Treetop flyer

    So I'm comin' home I'm runnin'
    Low and fast
    Promised my woman this'n gonna
    Be my last
    I get the ship down
    I tie her fast
    And then some ole boy walks up and he says
    He son, wanna make some fast cash?

    Treetop flyer

    Well there's things I am and there's
    Things I'm not
    I'm a smuggler and I
    Could get shot
    I ain't going to die
    I ain't going to get caught
    You see I'm a flyin' fool
    And the aeroplane
    Is just too hot

    I'm a treetop flyer

    Born survivor
