Woman of a thousand years
How are your sons of a time ago
Do they still admire your silvered ways
As you go down
To the sea and golden sand

You may be seen up in the sky
And from the land
Or floating by, a fisherman's day

Flying down from a high
She is gone, and then appears
From the water's edge

Woman of a thousand years
He waits to see you...

You may be seen up in the sky
And from the land
Or floating by, a fisherman's day

Flying down from a high
She is gone, and then appears
From the water's edge

He waits to see you
For it has been long since you left him
On his own to wander

Woman of a thousand years
How are your sons of a time ago
Do they still admire your silvered ways
As you go down
To the sea and golden sand

. . .


(Written by Christine McVie)

Clear as the morning rain
Seeing it very plain
We've got to start again

What's that you do
What's that you say
There's no use complaining
It's the only way
There's no use feeling dissatisfied
Cause how can you know until you've tried

Clear as the morning rain
Seeing it very plain
We've got to start again

Everthings going around in my head
The futures new and the past is dead
Pull out the stops, turn on the light
Cause away from the darkness everything seems bright

Clear as the morning rain
Seeing it very plain
We've got to start again

Do do do do do
do do do do do do do
Do do do do do
do do do do do do do
Do do do do do
do do do do do do do
Do do do do do
do do do do do do do...

What a Shame

[No lyrics]

(Written by Bob Welch)

I did a thing last night
You know those future games
I turned off all the lights
Oh, the future came
You were by my side
Will you explain-oh yeah
Real rhyme or reason for those future games

Now you were there last night
And oh were you afraid
Of things we'd come upon
While playing future games
But baby it's alright and so have faith
Oh yeah, you invent the future that you want to face

How many people sit home at night
Wondering if they will be here tonight
Wondering if children will he bring to the light
Inherit the world, or inherit the night
Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same
All of the wild things tomorrow will tame
Talking of journeys that happen in vain

Well I know I'm not the only one
To ever spend my life sitting playing future games

You better take your time
You know there's no escape
The future sends a sign
Of things we will create
Baby it's alright
And so have faith
Oh yeah, you invent the future that you want to face

How many people sit home at night
Wondering if they will be here tonight
Wondering if children will he bring to the light
Inherit the world, or inherit the night
Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same
All of the wild things tomorrow will tame
Talking of journeys that happen in vain

And I know I'm not the only one
To ever spend my life sitting playing future games

Future games...
Future games...
Future games...
Future games...

I know I'm not the only one...
I know I'm not the only one...
I know I'm not the only one...
I know I'm not the only one...
I know I'm not the only one...
I know I'm not the only one...
I know I'm not the only one...
I know I'm not the only one...

The magic of a blackened night
Can go so far, but not seem right

Although my love, will drive away the sunshine
The magic of, a blackened night
And before you go show me
All the words of love

And the falling sands of time
Blow my wind and drifted by
To and frow the trees still bend
Wondering what the host will send
We will go right down to the sea
Bathing in light we will be free to wander

And the falling sands of time
Blow my wind and drifted by
To and frow the trees still bend
Wondering what the host will send
We will go right down to the sea
Bathing in light we will be free to wander

And the falling sands of time
Blow my wind and drifted by
To and frow the trees still bend
Wondering what the host will send
We will go right down to the sea
Bathing in light we will be free to wander

The magic of a blackened night
Can go so far, but not seem right

Although my love, will drive away the sunshine
The magic of, a blackened night

(Written by Danny Kirwan)

Sometimes I get to thinking
About the times we used to have
But now you've gone away and left me-so alone

(La di da, la di da da, la di da)

Although my back is aching
I'll work the whole day through
Although you hear that I've been wasting
All my time

Taking the sun from the sky
Lifting our hearts to the day
Thinking of new revelations
Talking with nothing to say

Sometimes I get to thinking
About the times we used to have
But now you've gone away and left me-so alone

(La di da, la di da da, la di da)

Although my back is aching
I'll work the whole day through
Although you hear that I've been wasting
All my time

Taking the sun from the sky
Lifting our hearts to the day
Thinking of new revelations
Talking with nothing to say

. . .


(Written by Bob Welch)

Let me retell
A story of old
About a man named Moses
Who lived long ago
He prophicied good
He prophicied bad
And now that prophecy's
Coming to pass

Let all your sons, and your daughters
Of the golden calf
Lay down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
Lay it all down, for paradise here on earth

A whole lot of people, including myself
Thought the story of Moses was just a tall tale
But all of the things that we see going on
Are just what Moses set down

Let all your sons, and your daughters
Of the golden-yeah
Lay down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
Lay it all down, for paradise here on earth

Let me retell
A story I know
About a man named Moses
Who lived long ago
He prophicied good
He prophicied bad
And now that prophecy's
Coming to pass

Let all your sons, and your daughters
Of the golden-yeah
Lay down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
Lay down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
Lay down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
I just can't imagine a reason for sorrow
Just can't imagine the hurt
You've got to lay it down
You've got to lay it down
You've got to lay it down
You've got to lay it down
I said lay down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
Lay down your burden of sorrow
There's just no reason to hurt
You've got to lay down your burden of sorrow
Lay down your burden of hurt
I said
Lay it all down, for paradise here on earth

Take everything easy
Show me a smile
It doesn't take much to please me
My little child

Shine me a light from your eyes dear
Don't let me see a single tear
Take everything easy
Show me a smile
Soon you'll be a man
My little one
So have fun while you can
Or there'll be none

Everything's going fast around you
There will be things to astound you
You'll be a man in no time
My little one

So take everything easy
Show me a smile
It doesn't take much to please me
My little child

Shine me a light from your eyes dear
Don't let me see a single tear
Take everything easy
Show me a smile
Ooooohhhh...
Ooooohhhh...
Ooooohhhh...
Ooooohhhh...

Take everything easy
Show me a smile
It doesn't take much to please me
My little child

Shine me a light from your eyes dear
Don't let me see a single tear
Take everything easy
Show me a smile
Soon you'll be a man
My little one
So have fun while you can
Or there'll be none

Everything's going fast around you
There will be things to astound you
You'll be a man in no time
My little one

So take everything easy
Show me a smile
It doesn't take much to please me
My little child

Shine me a light from your eyes dear
Don't let me see a single tear
Take everything easy
Show me a smile
Ooooohhhh...
Ooooohhhh...
Ooooohhhh...
Ooooohhhh...
