Landslide
Fleetwood Mac · 1975
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- Well, I've been afraid of changin'
- 'Cause I've built my life around you
- But time makes you bolder
- Even children get older
Echo the hook
- Well, the landslide bring it down
- And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
- Well, the landslide bring it down
- Oh-ohh, the landslide bring it down
