Subject: CRD: Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac
Beautiful song to an ex-lover, I believe written by Stevie Nicks in
response to Lindsey Buckingham’s «Go Your Own Way» after they separated,
but were still performing together in 1976. I read somewhere that it was
the B side of that single, but never on an album until «The Dance.»
Silver Springs (Stevie Nicks)
As performed live by Fleetwood Mac on «The Dance»

You could be my silver spring

I would be your only dream

Your shining over ocean crashing

And do you say she’s pretty
And do you say that she loved you
F C
Baby I don’t want to know
C F C
So I begin not to love you
C F C
Turn ’round, see me running
C F C
I say I loved you years ago
C F C Am#5
But tell myself you never loved me no

And did you say that she’s pretty
And do you say that she loved you

Baby I don’t want to know

Oh no

Time cast a spell on you

But you would not let me

I’ll follow you down ’till the sound

Of my voice will haunt you (Was I just a fool?)

You’ll never get away from the sound
