And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless

Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?”

“There is always magic to be summoned at any point. I love to live in a world of magic, but not a fake world of magic. We all really basically have a lot of magic...

That’s the only thing that I feel I am able to give to people and that’s why I know that they respond to me because I try to give them only their own magic... not mine, but theirs”

You say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should

But listen carefully to the sound

Like a heartbeat ... drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost ...

[Dreams]”
― Stevie Nicks, Rumours

Without bringing me dreams
And the sun never shines

My life, my life..”

My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain
My head in my hands down on my knees”

“I've never been to a strip club but I turn on MTV and see in every single video what it must look like... if you have to work so hard at appearing sexy, then perhaps you weren't that sexy after all, perhaps your music has no sensuality, perhaps your music is dull, indeed, that you have no choice but to pelvic thrust your way through a pop video in a leather bikini in order to detract from its mediocrity... it might be advisable to do something else.”

It was like, 'We don't belong here, nobody understands us.”

“Blue Denim

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus]

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...

[Chorus]

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

“She is like a cat in the dark and then she is the darkness.”

“Without A Leg To Stand On

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

“To the gypsy
That remains
She faces freedom
With a little fear
Well I have no fear
I have only love.”
