Silver Spring
Fleetwood Mac · Other Songs - Fleetwood Mac
Blue green colors flashing
I would be your only dream
Like the shining ocean crashing
And did you say that she's pretty?
And did you say she loved you?
Baby I don't want to know
So I begin not to love you
Turn 'round
See me running
I said I loved you years ago
I tell myself
You never loved me, no
And did you say it was worth it?
Really I don't want to know
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 (x2)
I'll follow you down
'Till the sound of my voice
Will haunt you
You'll never get away from the sound
Of the woman that loves you
(Never get away)
I'll follow you down
'Till the sound of my voice
Will haunt you
(Give me just a chance)
You could be my silver spring
Blue green colors flashing
