Fleetwood Mac was a successful British blues band of the late 1960s. The band was started by guitarist Peter Green, who recruited the rhythm section of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers: drummer Mick Fleetwood and bass guitarist John McVie. Green himself had replaced a departing member, Eric Clapton, as the lead guitarist of the "Bluesbreakers"; Green and McVie had appeared on Mayall's 1967 A Hard Road album. The band employed another bassist, Bob Brunning, until John McVie was persuaded to join the band. Slide-guitarist and Elmore James devotee, Jeremy Spencer, rounded out the lineup.

Closing My Eyes Lyrics
Fleetwood Mac
Written by peter green.
Now its the same as before
And Im alone again
With no sorrow for myself
And Im blaming no one else
And closing my eyes
And seeing you standing there
Now its the same as before
Youve touched me with your love
And though youre in my heart
Were still a world apart
As now Im back to the time
Where I would search for a dream
But no use to try anymore as before
Someday Ill die, and maybe then Ill be with you
So Im closing my eyes
To hear the people laugh
For theyre all aglow
Not knowing where to go
But is it asking too much
When the question is what to do
With the life Ill have
It seems I know nothing now
Except my love for you
And the strength in my hands
To go on feeding your smile
