Leslie Fierro After I saw the promo picture of Fleetwood Mac in Rolling Stone, for "Rumors," I couldn't stop wishing Free Advice awkwardly arranged in bed was this album's cover...but this is irrelevant. Free Advice fits best in the stereo of a van moving constantly toward summertime swimming holes and camping on cow pastures in the rain. Favorite track: Amongst the Stars.

We sleep amongst the stars And walk through every fall Fall from grace, fall again It’s the second time you win Sparks of youth never die But each message takes its time Time is shaken by you We walk these windy streets In vivid supine dreams Off into the blue and green Sails ripping at their seams With no need for a reply It’s the message all this time Time is shaken by you
2.
Down by the river walking So you know who I am Down by the river walking with a friend So you know who I am In the end a silence rose You know who I am Oh tell me River Jordan If you know who I am You raised decendants from the stone and so You know who I am In the end a silence rose And then I knew for sure When you peel back the layers The only this that was real Ancient voices are rattling through my head Ancient voices are rattling through my head

River 04:29
We’re going down to the river Going down to my home The light flows on the river I won’t go it alone You poured water to water I made my only bed The trees leaned as a warning The Moon hung from my head Birds are first to fly Light is last to lie So take me far from the river Take me from my home The dogs feed by the river I won’t go it alone The plant life fades like a frog turned inside out The ghosts reign free on the land My bones they shake when I’m beside my faithful man The boats sail by like a plan Dogs aren’t meant to fly And I’m not meant to lie So take me back to the river Take me to my home It’s dark now by the river I’m tired I’m home

Smile it will begin with a grin on your )face Give quarters or halves of the pieces you take Indecision is what I need from you Couldn’t do it anyway Couldn’t do it anyway You do what you need to do need to say I will be here, won't give up, promise to be okay Indecision is what I need from you Couldn’t do it anyway Couldn’t do it anyway Save me from my own devices If you could my dear Leave me alone but be around and to tell me lies I love, to hear Take these great chances and all re-romances You will always be okay
5.
Sprouts 03:30
Your plants died but you Kept mine alive Or my leaves would have dried long ago Boughs bent, then broken made from Words not unspoken But I guess it was the best way to go You hung your hopes up on the line But the sun couldn’t dry them out He hid behind his clouds My love lasted through Songs of the past While you danced with your feet out of time Friends like old lovers we made Vows to one another While the stories in our hearts spoke in rhyme I’m feeling homesick all the time But my home isn’t mine, or ours. So I’ll look for signs in sprouts.

Path 03:12
Take a path of least resistance Just remember that you’re feeling fine Don't get lost on the way to the ocean Just remember that you're doing right Paths will cross and the roads will diverge now Faces will change and the names will too Don’t get lost on the way to the ocean Just flip the record and we will too
7.
Wild Ride 02:49
Let your thoughts all go Catching on a wild ride Just like a place you've known Catch up on a wild ride And when things get slow Catch up on a wild ride with me Never want to come back Always could be just that Just between me and you They said that we could make it If we weren’t complacent Guess that we were born to lose So I won't hold you back Riding on your wild ride Or count the time that's past Riding on your wild ride What happens to you at last Riding on your wild ride with me Never want to come back Always could be just that Just between me and you They said that we could make it if we weren’t complacent Guess that we were born to lose

Red hair blazing in the sun Lauren, Lauren you're the one I miss Remember when we kissed Lavender and paler blue Someone whispers I love you in my dreams It's never as it seems And there's pie at the window In my house inside outside, inside And I can choose between them so I'll run outside and take honey from the bees Beer bellies and shirts so worn I should be but I'm not torn at all Ready for the Fall Now Jo Jo says you're just the same But which one of you says my name just right Lighting up the night And there's two men who love me In my house inside outside, inside And I won't choose between them so We'll run outside and take honey from the bees And there's pie at the window In my house inside outside, inside And I can choose between them so I'll run outside and take honey from the bees
9.
Didn't anybody ever tell you Exactly what you should say When the moment finally comes Is there a piece of self to guide you along the way peace comes every morning you’re only a sunrise away Only a sunrise away It's been a long time but I know that I will Get over it Get over it As you wake a whisper calls you Dreaming eyes re-find their every way And suddenly the world awakes A golden light the sounds resound they seem to say You’re only a sunrise away You’re only a sunrise away
10.
No Friends 03:21
Roll my stone Make no friends Gather no moss Just want a secret That can't be lost, in a day No one is free No direction we can tell If we could read past lives Their stories they would tell us something real something good You could use a direction to send Nothing plays like the band in your head Talked for hours and somehow nothing it was said And the night carries you on Nothing ventured nothing gained You found something you could count on I will always feel the same You could use a direction to send
11.
Alone Again 03:12
Hang on Hold tight Just maybe you’re gonna be alright Give in, get paid Live along the way you’ve always played The time has come To explain Give a damn what you’re doing Cause I’ve got a plan To never be alone Give me a damn I’ve got a ways to go Give a lot To the Flow No direction we could ever know I’ve had it all Now time to go Say hello to all I’ve ever known Give my love to all I’ve had to know Cause I’ve got a plan To never be alone Living for my mind I’ve got a ways to go
12.
And we'll dance Summer's dance Follow the wind at Fall Birds follow the Southern Call Birds follow the Southern Call And if they take their fate Climb the face of the sky Birds flee from the cat's eye Birds flee from the cat's eye Cause if I take my fate cause I'm alive at all Cause if I take my fate cause I'm alive at all Birds follow the Southern Call Birds follow the Southern Call So no we're driving West Never felt so alive Unfettered and uncompromised What has been taken from me Can never be resold The clock steals the world old The clock steals the world old Cause if I take my fate cause I'm alive at all Cause if I take my fate cause I'm alive at all Birds follow the Southern Call
