Stevie Nicks Lyrics

"There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle

And dark desperate hours that nobody sees

My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain

My head in my hands down on my knees." ― Stevie Nicks

Without bringing me dreams

And the sun never shines

But I see the bright eyes I lie down by the side

Of my darling, my life, my life." ― Stevie Nicks, "Annabel Lee"

"I got nothin' but time

No time for living

I've been everywhere

It's all the same

I just need somebody that I can lean on

Nobody wants to keep you

When you're in love with the game

But you know that I can't let go

And there ain't nothin' left to show

Got the feeling I can't say no without a leg to stand on

There's so many fine people

That I believe in

They don't care where I'm going

It's not their show

I got nothin' but time

No time for living

I used to be somebody

But that was so long ago

Look around but you won't see me

Just a picture of what I used to be

There ain't nothin' to set me free without a

leg to stand on but you know that I can't let go

And there aint nothin' left to show

Got the feelin' I can't say no

Without a leg to stand on." ― Stevie Nicks, "Without A Leg To Stand On"

"I saw him the other day

I saw him again... yesterday

I wonder if I'll ever see him again

He reminded me of Blue Denim

Blue-gray eyes... they change with the color...

Change with the sun... they run with the sight

They change with the wind... but they're always bright

Bright eyes... Blue Denim

Bright eyes... Blue Denim

I knew him another way, I knew him another day

In some ways he'd forgotten me

In many ways he got to me

I turned away so he couldn't see

I turned away... it could never be

I never thought he could walk away

But I lost him again... yesterday

Understanding me... understanding you

Is not an easy thing to do

Understanding me... and understanding you

Is not an easy thing to do

And I will never forget...

The last time I saw you

Like a photograph... so rare

Like a painting

No I will never forget...

The last time I saw you

Never to be... not you... not me

No... no...

So I'm going away for a little while

To remember how to feel

And if I find the answer...

I promise you... I'll come back and get you

I'll come back and get you

I'll come back and get you." ― Stevie Nicks, "Blue Denim"

"Now here you go again

You say you want your freedom

Well who am I to keep you down

It's only right that you should

Play the way you feel it

But listen carefully to the sound

Of your loneliness

Like a heartbeat ... drives you mad

In the stillness of remembering what you had

And what you lost ..." ― Stevie Nicks, "Dreams" from the album "Rumours"

"She is like a cat in the dark

And then she is the darkness

She rules her life like a fine skylark

And when the sky is starless.

All your life you've never seen a woman

Taken by the wind

Would you stay if she promised you heaven?

Will you ever win?" ― Stevie Nicks, "Best Of Fleetwood Mac - Easy Piano"

That remains

She faces freedom

With a little fear

Well I have no fear

I have only love." ― Stevie Nicks, "Gypsy"
