2) Go Your Own Way
Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever 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's 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

3) Gold Dust Woman
Rock on, gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon, 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
Well, did she make you cry, make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
And 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
Well, did she make you cry, make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now? Do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home?
Well, did she make you cry, make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now? Do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home?
Gold dust woman
Rusty piano
Morning rain
Wake up lonely
Ahh, rusty piano
Morning rain
Wake up lonely
Ahh, rusty piano
Morning rain
Wake up lonely
Ahh, rusty piano
Morning rain
Take your silver spoon, 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
Well, did she make you cry, make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
And 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
Well, did she make you cry, make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now? Do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home?
Well, did she make you cry, make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now? Do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home?

4) Gypsy
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 you now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And her 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
Ah, and it all comes down to you
Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
Ah, I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
And it all comes down to you
Ah, and it all comes down to you
Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
Ah, and it all comes down to you
Ah, and it all comes down to you
Ah, and it all comes down to you
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 you now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And her 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
Ah, and it all comes down to you
Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
Ah, I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
And it all comes down to you
Ah, and it all comes down to you
Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
Ah, and it all comes down to you
Ah, and it all comes down to you
Ah, and it all comes down to you
5) Landslide
I took my love and I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
'Til 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?
Hmm, hmm
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm gettin' older, too
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm gettin' older, too
I'm gettin' older, too
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
'Til 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?
Hmm, hmm
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm gettin' older, too
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm gettin' older, too
I'm gettin' older, too
6) Rhiannon
Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
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?
Will you ever win?
Rhiannon

And who will be her lover?
All your life you've never seen a woman

Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
Will you ever win?
And wouldn't you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
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?

7) Sara
Wait a minute, baby
Stay with me a while
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
But now it's gone
They say it doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Then 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
And undoing the laces
Undoing the laces
Said, Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
But now it's gone
No, it doesn't matter what for
But when you build your house
Well, then, 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, anywhere
Ask me and I'm there 'cause I care
Stay with me a while
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
But now it's gone
They say it doesn't matter anymore
When you build your house
Then 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
And undoing the laces
Undoing the laces
Said, Sara, you're the poet in my heart
Never change, never stop
But now it's gone
No, it doesn't matter what for
But when you build your house
Well, then, 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, anywhere
Ask me and I'm there 'cause I care
8) Silver Springs
You could be my silver springs
Blue-green colors flashing
I would be your only dream
Your shining autumn, ocean crashing
And did you say she was pretty?
And did you say that she loves you?
Baby, I don't wanna know
I'll begin not to love you
Turn around, see me runnin'
I'll say, "I loved you years ago"
Tell myself, "You never loved me, no"
And did you say she was pretty?
And did you say that she loves you?
Baby, I don't wanna know
Oh no, and can you tell me was it worth it?
Baby, I don't wanna know
Time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me
I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me
Time casts a spell on you, but you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you, but you would not let me
Time casts a spell on you, but you won't forget me
I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me
And I want you to know that I'm sorry
And I want you to know that I'm sorry
And I want you to know
And I want you to know
Blue-green colors flashing
I would be your only dream
Your shining autumn, ocean crashing
And did you say she was pretty?
And did you say that she loves you?
Baby, I don't wanna know
I'll begin not to love you
Turn around, see me runnin'
I'll say, "I loved you years ago"
Tell myself, "You never loved me, no"
And did you say she was pretty?
And did you say that she loves you?
Baby, I don't wanna know
Oh no, and can you tell me was it worth it?
Baby, I don't wanna know
Time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me
I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me
Time casts a spell on you, but you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you, but you would not let me
Time casts a spell on you, but you won't forget me
I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me
And I want you to know that I'm sorry
And I want you to know that I'm sorry
And I want you to know
And I want you to know
9) Songbird Version by Fleetwood Mac
For you, there'll be no more crying
For you, the sun will be shining
And I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right
To you, I would give the world
To you, I'd never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right
And the songbirds are singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
And I wish you all the love in the world
But most of all, I wish it from myself
And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before, like never before
For you, the sun will be shining
And I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right
To you, I would give the world
To you, I'd never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right
And the songbirds are singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before
And I wish you all the love in the world
But most of all, I wish it from myself
And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before, like never before
10) The Chain
Listen to the wind blow
