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

Bella Donna
Stevie Nicks

  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.

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.

David Crosby

    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.

    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

 

Stephen Stills, David Crosby, Graham Nash

Gypsy
Stevie Nicks

    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

  Tonite

  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.
