Much like Welch’s “Bermuda Triangle” from “Heroes are Hard to Find,” it is one of Welch’s cryptic/supernatural songs that seems to work very well with his voice. Backing vocals are provided by Christine McVie and Bob Weston. The song starts with Mick Fleetwood’s drumming and is followed by octave runs on the guitar – presumably by Bob Welch.
I’ve always been partial to Bob Welch’s contribution to Fleetwood Mac. It’s a shame that he was not included in the number of former members that were inducted into the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame with Fleetwood Mac.
Lyrics
It's the same kind of story that seems to come down from long ago
Two friends having coffee together when something flies by their window
It might be out on that lawn which is wide, at least half of a playing field
Because there's no explaining what your imagination can make you see and feel
And it seems like a dream; got you hypnotized (got me hypnotized)
Now it's not a meaningless question to ask if they've been and gone
I remember a talk about North Carolina and a strange, strange pond
You see the sides were like glass in the thick of a forest without a road
And if any man's hand ever made that land then I think it would've showed
And it seems like a dream; got you hypnotized (got me hypnotized)
And that’s right.
Oh ----
And it seems like a dream; got you hypnotized (got me hypnotized)
They say there's a place down in Mexico where a man can fly over mountains and hills
And he don't need an airplane or some kind of engine and he never will
Now you know it's a meaningless question to ask if those stories are right
'Cause what matters most is the feeling you get when you're hypnotized
And it seems like a dream; got you hypnotized (got me hypnotized)
