Stevie Nicks

Stephanie Lynn  (Stevie" Nicks, born May 26, 1948) is an American singer and songwriter, known for her work with Fleetwood Mac and a solo career; she created over twenty hits. As a member of Fleetwood Mac, she was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. Fleetwood Mac was formed in 1967 and underwent a series of reincarnations. The only member of the band who persevered was drummer Mick Fleetwood. Keyboardist Christine McVie was second in endurance, writing some of the hit songs and appearing on all but two albums.

Lindsey Buckingham and "Stevie" Nicks became part of Fleetwood Mac in 1973. An album released in 1975 reached #1 in the US charts. Popular songs included Christine McVie's "Over My Head,"  "Say You Love Me", and Stevie Nicks' "Rhiannon.”  Another album released in 1977,  Rumours, was the best-selling album of the year, a Grammy Award  winner for the Album of the Year in 1977. Buckingham' wrote "Go Your Own Way", Nicks wrote "Dreams"  and Christine McVie wrote "Don't Stop" and "You Make Loving Fun".

Gold Dust Woman was recorded in Dec. 2007. Rhiannon was completed in Feb 2008.

Dreams

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, 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, ooh, what you lost

Thunder only happens
When it's raining
Players only love you
When they're playing

Women, they will come
And they will go
When the rain washes you clean
You'll know

Oh, 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, you'll know
You will know, oh oh oh
You'll know
