Stevie Nicks - Nightbird - lyrics

Written by stevie nicks and sandy stewart.
And the summer became the fall
I was not ready for the winter
It makes no difference at all
cause I wear boots all summer long
My eye make up is dark and its careless
Some circles around my eyes
Sometimes the real color of my skin
Is my eyes without any shadow
And when I call
Will you walk gently
Thru my shadow
The ones who sing at night
The ones who sing at night
The ones you dream of
The ones who walk away
Capes pulled around them tight
Cryin for the night
Cry for the nightbird tonite
And so the winter is really here now
And the blankets that I love
I am surrounded sometimes
By too much love
And when I call
Will you walk gently
Thru my shadow
The ones who sing at night
The ones who sing at night
The ones you dream of
The ones who walk away
Capes pulled around them tight
Cryin for the night
Cry for the nightbird tonite
And the darkened eyes
Thru the net of the lace
In the darkness
Its hard to see her face
Pulls back the net
And you feel the touch
Of her fingers
And you see she turns the eyes
And you see the eyes of a nightbird
The ones you dream of
Finally the nightbird
Finally the nightbird
Tonite

Stevie Nicks - If I Were You - lyrics

Written by stevie nicks and r. nowels.
Baby how much closer could we be
I swear youve become a part of me
You are with me everywhere I go
If you feel it I already know
Everything I say to you is true
I dont want to tell you what to do
But if I were you
I would take the love Im giving to you
Oh if I were you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I were you
I would trust in me like I trusted in you
Oh, if I were you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I know what youre dreaming when you sleep
You have secrets I will always keep
And in every morning when we arise
I see my reflection in your eyes
Every boy must learn to be a man
Maybe I can help you, yes I can
But if I were you
I would take the love Im giving to you
Oh if I were you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I were you
I would trust in me like I trusted in you
Oh, if I were you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Well, I believe that love is a living thing
Born into our destinies
From a single moment of inspiration
And as it grows it changes your life forever!
But if I were you
I would take the love Im giving to you
Oh if I were you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If I were you
I would trust in me like I trusted in you
Oh, if I were you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Stevie Nicks - Ooh My Love - lyrics

Written by stevie nicks and r. nowels.
In the shadow of the castle walls
Wherever those walls were
Well you used to love to be behind those walls with her
Within these walls
Well he watched from the corridor
Watched from the corner of his eyes
Seemingly waiting for the time
When the castle walls would all fall down
Yes it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
In the shadow of the castle walls
Wherever those walls were
In this land or in that land
Well the castles all seem to belong to her
And all this talk about love and hate
And our separation way on down the line
Well they just cant wait, can they?
No they just cant wait
Yes it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
Yes it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
There was a light that lighted the way to the chamber
Where they spent all their time, well
There was a light that lighted the way to the chamber door where
They seemed to spend all their time
Ooh my love ooh my love ooh my love
Yes it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
Yes it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Oh but there was a time when he called her angel
Where in the world did you come from?
Yeah it was a strain on her
Watching her castles fall down
Hey, hey, baby no one can take you away from me no no one
In the shadow of the castle walls

Stevie Nicks - Desert Angel - lyrics

Written by stevie nicks and m. campbell.
I was born in the desert
So I know how it feels there
Well look up its a shooting star
But its as black as night no stars
Well this is the first thing,
That Ive written
Since I wrote about freedom
And then the wall came down
Well we thought it was a great beginning
People were free to cross the line
But then something happened in the desert
Something broke the stars into pieces
Well I live below a great red mountain
In the shape of a great huge beast
In a place the indians call paradice valley
Well this has always been my sanctuary
I send that to you too
There on the other side of the world
In the desert
And we are the guardians
No black clouds just the faces of you
So where is my father,
Where has he gone
Where is my husband
Where is my son
Where is my father
Where has he gone
What is it that happened here
Is it real this war
This cant be happening
Ooh well I need to see you
In your far away war
And you should know how much we love you
They call us here, operation desert angel
They call us here, operation desert angel
In waiting
Operation desert shield
Operation desert storm
Operation desert angel

Stevie Nicks - Docklands - lyrics

Written by t. horn / b. cook.
Papa says there are clothes to wash
Sister says brush your hair
Youll go down to the laundromat
Maybe your sister is there
Father says when youre young like this
Things can seem pretty bad
Lets get out and walk by the river
And there are people who roam the docklands
And there are ships passing in the night
And there are thousands of things that I have dreamed
Gone in the daylight
Sister says hold your head up high
Life goes on so dont be afraid
Keep your defenses but dont shut the loving out
You got to learn to carry that weight
And all the people who roam the docklands
And all the ships passing through the night
And there are thousands of things that I have dreamed
Gone in the daylight
Sometimes I feel like Im in a foreign land
And theres a mirror Im looking through
Lost in the place where I was born
Without a hand to hold on to
Hold on hold on
Hold on hold on
In the docklands where I was born
People keep moving to and fro
Everybodys pushing trying to make it happen
I beg of you I beg of you I beg of you
I miss you more than I thought I could
I need you more than you know
I was there when they took you away from me
Ill be there when they let you go
And then the people who roam the docklands
And all the ships passing in the night
And the thousands of things that I have dreamed
Stay in the daylight
Sometimes I feel like Im in a foreign land
And theres a mirror Im looking through
Well bring me back to the place where I was born
Without a hand to hold on to
Give me your hand
Give me your hand give me your hand
Give me your hand in the docklands
I beg of you give me your hand
In the docklands

Stevie Nicks - Dreams - lyrics

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...
And what you had...
And what you lost
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say...Women...they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean...you'll know
Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and...
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness...
Like a heartbeat...drives you mad...
In the stillness of remembering what you had...
And what you lost
What you had...
And what you lost
Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say...Women...they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean...you'll know

Stevie Nicks - Edge Of Seventeen - lyrics

Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like shes singing...
Whoo... whoo... whoo...
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like shes singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
And the days go by...
Like a strand in the wind...
In the web that is my own...
I begin again
Said to my friend, baby...
Nothin else mattered
He was no more... than a baby then
Well he... seemed broken hearted...
Something within him
But the moment... that I first laid...
Eyes... on... him... all alone...
On the edge of... seventeen
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like shes singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo...
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like shes singing...
Said ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
Well I went today... maybe I will go again...
Tomorrow
Yea yea well the music there well it was hauntingly...
Familiar
Well I see you doing...
What I try to do for me
With the words from a poet...
And a voice from a choir
And a melody... nothing else mattered
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like shes singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like shes singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
The clouds... never expect it...
When it rains
But the sea changes color...
But the sea...
Does not change
And so... with the slow... graceful flow...
Of age
I went forth... with an age old...
Desire... to please
On the edge of... seventeen
Oooooooooaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like shes singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like shes singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
Well then suddenly...
There was no one... left standing
In the hall... yeah yeah...
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all
Well I went searchin for an answer...
Up the stairs... and down the hall
Not to find an answer...
Just to hear the call
Of a nightbird... singing...
Come away...
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song
Sounds like shes singing...
Ooo... baby ooo... said ooo
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like shes singing...
Ooo... baby ooo... said ooo
Well I hear you in the morning...
And I hear you...
At nightfall...
Sometimes to be near you...
Is to be unable... to hear you...
My love...
Im a few years older than you...
My love
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like shes singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo

Stevie Nicks - New Orleans - lyrics

In the city of dreams lies the city's ghost
There's a beginning, there's a middle and an end
In this city we reach out for the middle ground
We throw a great party, so hard to start to mend
We forgive, at least we try
In the midst of the sea of dreams lies a perfect storm
In the sea of tears lies a city ghost
In the spirit of the morning glow
Well, the people hope that their lives will get better
The people hope that their lives will get better
I wanna get a room in New Orleans
I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter
I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads
I wanna wear feathers and lace
I wanna brush by Ann Rice
And go on down Bourbon Street
I see a sea of smiles
I see a haunted city reaching out
I see hope in all their faces
Behind the mask of Mardi Gras
Where the good and the righteous walk
And the wicked as well
I wanna get a room in New Orleans
I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter
I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads
I wanna wear feathers and lace
I wanna brush by the vampires
I wanna dress up, ooh yeah
I wanna wear feathers and lace
I wanna brush by Ann Rice
And go down Bourbon Street
Go on down Bourbon Street
Within these rooms, I go up to my balcony
And I hang the paintings on the wall
And I open up my gallery, and I open up my doors
I stare at the city, I stare at my city
I wanna get a room in New Orleans
I wanna sing in the streets of the French Quarter
I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads
I wanna wear feathers and lace
I wanna brush by the vampires
I wanna get back to New Orleans
I wanna sing out in the streets of the French Quarter
I wanna dress up, I wanna wear beads
I wanna wear feathers and lace
I wanna brush by Ann Rice
Go down Bourbon Street
Go down Bourbon Street
Go on down Bourbon Street
Go on down Bourbon Street
Go on down, go on down, go on down
Go on down Bourbon Street
In the city of tears lies the city's ghost

Stevie Nicks - No Spoken Word - lyrics

Written by stevie nicks.
I was just that old
That august dark, dark day
Swear that you never saw her face
Swear that you never heard her say
No spoken word
No small command
What was it she wanted
They say she had everything
No spoken word
No small command
What was it she wanted
They say she had everything
What shall I do
What shall I say
Should I say
Who all the things
That Id like to say to you
No spoken word
No small command
What was it she wanted
They say she had everyting
Lets make a deal here
Ooh, for one night
Well baby, you fill the night with the
Wind and the rain and the water
Oh, for one night
Well, just for one night
You know that well that
Disasterous sound
Now it will make me wiser
He says, and it will make you look
She says, look out
I dont know how to learn
From the pages of a book
Well I either say too much, or i
I dont say enough
Well I play too hard
Still Im not tough enough
What was it she wanted
They say she had everything
No spoken word
No small command
What was it she wanted
They said she had everything
Ooh come around tonight indecent
Well
Ah, ha come around
Tonight, indecent baby well,
You fill the room
With the rain and the wind and the water
If you tell me,
One more time
Oh baby, take it easy
Well, you wont see me ever again
Some people walk down that darkened street
With the faith of a child
And so go the faithless
But after awhile, she says
No spoken word
Lets make a deal here
No small command
What was it she wanted
They said she had everything
Ooh, I dont want to know about it

Stevie Nicks - Planets Of The Universe - lyrics

Words and music by stevie nicks.
The bright light is lying down
The earth and the sea and the sky
Is at rest with the ocean
And the days go by
They go into the seas that have no shores
Haunted by that same closed door
Looking up at skies on fire
Leaving nothing left of us
To discover
1st chorus:
And the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
You and I will simply disappear
Out of sight
But Im afraid soon therell be
No light
No doubt, no pain
Come ever again, well
Let there be light in this lifetime
In the cool, silent moments of the nighttime
2nd chorus:
And the planets of the universe
Go their way
Not astounded by the sun or the moon
Or by the day
We will never change again
The way that we are changing
Well, youll forget the chill of love
But not the strain
Now I know
Well, I was wrong
To live for a dream
If I had my life to live over
I would never dream, no
I still wish you gone
I will live alone
Yes, I will live alone
1st chorus
You will never love again
The way you loved me
You will never rule again
The way you ruled me
You will never change again
The way youre changing
