Written by Danny Kirwan.
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

| dboseman | Posted: Dec 08, 2012 - 06:48 I love this FM era. I cannot believe this song or album is not on Itunes. |

| coloradojohn (A Mile High and then some, Cherry Creek, Denver) | Posted: Oct 06, 2012 - 12:25 Bob Welch (with no small help from the specky drumming and other talents in this band!) sure had a very cool way of making the rhythms shift, like breathing, within almost every song during his period; often, deceptively sounding simple on the surface, but mind-blowingly deep, and it's all SO GOOD! Thanks, RP, you keep it alive! |

Actually, I think this was the first official album with Christine McVie. The albums they put out between the blues years and the - uhh - 'famous' years are very very good and unappreciated. Please explore... |

Danny Kirwan is singing the song... later, he tripped out on acid and quit the band right before they were supposed to perform a live show... this fine song is from a great Fleetwood Mac album... |
| ozzie1313 | Posted: Sep 04, 2012 - 23:25 Peter Gabriel and Richard Branson thought of how to intervene in world conflicts with the wisdom inherent in tribal elders, thus the Elders with Tutu, Mandela, Carter, Albright, Robinson, Annan... |

| ozzie1313 | Posted: Sep 04, 2012 - 23:22 sometimes you weave together a slew of sublime, spectacular sounds so satisfying to a thirsty soul; from Booker T on to Kottke playing Fleetwood Mac to themselves, I have been entranced |

| DaveInVA (In a hovel in effluent Damnville, VA) | Posted: Jan 27, 2012 - 09:47 One of my favorite FM songs. Love the older stuff before they became Slamwood Hack. |
| shutter (You can't get here from there) | Posted: Jan 27, 2012 - 09:46 "To and fro the trees still bend." "To and fro" - ya' don't hear that used in lyrics much these days! |

My bad, I have the album and din't recognize it. Just heard it playing and said to the wife this sure sounds like FM, especially Welch's guitar. Then I came over and looked.   9 |

| bachbeet | Posted: Oct 18, 2008 - 16:32 Great song from a great album. This band had so many different members but always put out great music. Kiln House is another gem that is often overlooked. And, of course, the Peter Green days were classic. |
