Flashback

Do you remember this song? Fleetwood Mac. Silver Springs.



This song has always haunted me. As I've gotten older, it only haunts me more. There's something about it...something.


You could be my silver spring
blue green colors flashing
I would be your only dream
your shining autumn ocean crashing


Sadness for the loss of what was. Hope for what could have been. Maybe what should have been.

And did you say she was pretty?
And did you say that she loves you?
Baby, I don't wanna know


A raw ache, somewhere deep inside, knowing that it will never be again. Maybe it never was.

I'll begin not to love you
turn around, see me running
I say I loved you years ago
tell myself you never loved me


Trying to turn off those feelings. Hiding. Begging for relief. Hurting more instead of hurting less.

And did you say she was pretty?
And did you say that she loves you?
Baby, I don't wanna know


Not knowing what went wrong, but knowing it could never work. Never.

And can you tell me was it worth it
really, I don't wanna know


How do I get that time back? What if I don't want it back? What if I could have given that time to someone else?

Time cast its spell on you
but you won't forget me
I know I could've loved you
but you would not let me


Why wouldn't you let me love you?

Time cast its spell on you
but you won't forget me
I know I could've loved you
but you would not let me


I need to let go of you. I need you to let go of me so I can move on.

I'll follow you down til the sound
of my voice will haunt you
you'll never get away from the
sound of the woman that loves you


You're always in me, in a corner of my mind. A corner of my heart. Tucked away with the best and worst of me. Do I live in you the same way?

Was I just a fool?

Why did I love you?

You'll never get away from the sound
of the woman that loves you


Was I just a fool?

I'll follow you down til the sound
of my voice will haunt you


Give me just a chance

One more chance...

You'll never get away

You could be my silver spring
my blue green colors flashing
