EBONY EYES
Bob Welch

Well have you seen that girl in the corner
I'd like to take her out of her chains
Cause if I have my way with you baby I would be changing your life today

Your eyes got me dreamin
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin
That I'll be holding you close tonight
Your eyes got me dreamin
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin
That I'll be holding you close tonight

She was the same as a hundred ladies
But when my eyes looked at her I learned
That she was keepin a secret fire
And if I got real close I'd burn
So it looked like I had to move slowly
Like a cat at night in the trees
Cause I was waiting for her to show me
The way that she like her love to feel

Your eyes got me dreamin
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin
That I'll be holding you close tonight
Your eyes got me dreamin
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin
That I'll be holding you close tonight

Ebony eyes, ebony eyes
Ebony eyes, ebony eyes

Your eyes got me dreamin
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin
That I'll be holding you close tonight
Your eyes got me dreamin
Your eyes got me blind
Your eyes got me hopin
That I'll be holding you close tonight

I dig "Hypnotized" better.

I'm Rick James, Bitch! and I'm jacking this thread. Smokey, where you at?

or "Sentimental Lady" w/ LB on Accoustic G....

FYI:

Welch rerecorded some of his FM tracks and solo hits for a CD called "Bob Welch:His Fleetwood Mac Years & Beyond" last year.It's pretty ok,but kinda makes you wanna dig up the originals. He even covered Peter Green's "Oh Well (pt 1&2)"

I also read that Mick Fleetwood uninvited Welch from the R&R Hall of Fame ceremony when the group was inducted,because Welch had sued FM for lost royalties.Probably just gossip...

Ive always liked Welch's playing.Very watery.He's usually ignored or criticized as bland.
He's definitely one of FM's most unlucky members,falling between their two successful periods.

Have you ever heard his "Future Games" ? I believe it was recently used in the "Almost Famous" film .

I know I went to the well once too often with that one.
