Lyrics for singles by Stevie Nicks

Talk To Me
Edge of Seventeen
I Can't Wait
Rooms On Fire
Stand Back
Sometimes It's A Bitch
Gold



Talk To Me

I can see we're thinkin' bout the same things
And I can see your expression when the phone rings
We both know there's something happening here
Well, there's no sense in dancing round the subject
A wound gets worse when it's treated with neglect
Don't turn around, there's nothing here to fear

You can talk to me
Talk to me
You can talk to me
You can set your secrets free, baby

Dusty words lying under carpets
Seldom heard well must you keep your secrets
Locked inside hidden safe from view
Well, is it all that hard
Is it all that tough
Well,I've shown you all my cards now isn't that enough
You can hide your hurt
But, there's something you can do

You can talk to me
Talk to me...talk to me
I can set your secrets free, baby
La, la, la, la

Though we lay face to face and cheek to cheek
Our voices stray from the common ground where they could meet
The walls run high, to veil a swelling tear
Oh, let the walls burn down, set your secrets free
You can break their bounds, cause you're safe with me
You can lose your doubt, cause you'll find no danger not here

[chorus]

Oh, I can see you running
I can see you running
I can see you running all the way back home
I can see your expression when the phone rings
And I can see your thinkin' bout the same things
Is it all that hard
Is it all that tough
well, you've taken all there is now baby
Isn't that enough
Well, I can see you runnin'...I can see you runnin'
All the way back




Edge of Seventeen

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Whoo... whoo... whoo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's 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 she's singing
ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo

I went today... maybe I will go again
Tomorrow
And the music there it was hauntingly
Familiar
And I see you doing
What I try to do for me
With the words from a poet
And the voice from a choir
And a melody... nothing else mattered

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo

The clouds... never expect it
When it rains
But the sea changes colours
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

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's 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
Oh 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... come away

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Ooo... baby ooo... said ooo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Ooo... baby ooo... said ooo

Well I hear you in the morning
And I hear you
At nightfall
Sometime to be near you
Is to be unable... to hear you
My love
I'm a few years older than you

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo




I Can't Wait

Yes, I know you
Sometime she talks to him
Sometimes when she's only dreaming
Then when she wakes up
Somehow she still believes him

Yes, I know you
Tho we've been out of touch
Yes, I know you
To be continued, it's too much baby

I can't wait I can't wait
Well, I've got to know when I can see you again, now baby
I can't wait I can't wait
Am I wasting my time while you make up your mind
Well, I can't wait I can't wait
Yes, I know you
Tho we've been out of touch
I can't wait I can't wait
What can I do when I'm crazy for you

She wonders how many more hours
Her heart will feel broken
In secret she says she needs to see him
But no words are spoken

She dances around in a circle
Well she's got that feeling now
Blame it on something at first sight
Put the blame on me if you want to
To be continued

I can't wait I can't wait
Am I wasting my time while you make up your mind
Well, I can't wait I can't wait
I got to know when I can see you again
Well, I can't wait I can't wait
I can't wait I can't wait
I can't wait I can't wait
How will we feel 20 years from now




Rooms On Fire

Somewhere out in the back of your mind
Comes your real life and the life that you know
It seems like it was the creation of some of those same old things
It seemed to be the only thing left out in the light
She had trusted many
But been unfamiliar with
Almost everyone but you

Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself
I have known this much longer than I've known you

She had trusted many
And then there would be someone who would enter into her presence
That she could sense for miles
She dreamed of her wanton luxury
And she laughed and she cried and she tried to taunt him
And he hated to be separated
From that picture No

Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Ooh, well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself
Well I have known this much longer than I've known you

Long nets of white cloud my memory
Long nets of white cloud my memory
Ooh there is magic all around you
Everytime you walk in the room

Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself
Well I have known this much longer than I've known you




Stand Back

No one looked as I walked by
Just an invitation would have been just fine
Said no to him again and again
First he took my heart then he ran

No one knows how I feel
What I say unless you read between my lines
One man walked away from me
First he took my hand take me home

Stand back stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright it's alright
To be standing in a line
Standing in a line
I would cry

Do not turn away my friend
Like a willow I can bend
No man calls my name
No man came

So I walked on down away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than you could do
One man did not call
He asked me for my love
And that was all

Stand back stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's alright it's alright
To be standing in a line
Standing in a line
Standing in a line

So I walked on down the line
Away from you
Maybe your attention was more
Than I could do
One man did not call
Well he asked me for my love
That was all




Sometimes It's A Bitch

Well I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
I cried a river of tears from the pain
I try to dance with what life has to hand me
My partner's been pleasure my partner's been pain

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

Sometimes it's a bitch sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch sometimes it's a breeze

I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I've laid down with love and I woke up with lies
What's it all worth only the heart can measure
It's not what's in the mirror but what's left inside

Sometimes it's a bitch sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch sometimes it's a breeze

You gotta take it as it comes
Sometimes it don't come easy

I've run through rainbows and castles of candy
And I've cried a river of tears from the pain
I tried to dance with what life had to hand me
And if I could I'd do it all over again

Sometimes it's a bitch sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses and, sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a bitch sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes the picture just ain't what it seems
You get what you want but it's not what you need
Sometimes it's a bitch sometimes it's a breeze
Well it's a breeze it's a breeze it's a breeze




Gold

When the lights go down
In the California town
People are in for the evening

I jump into my car
And I throw in my guitar
My heart beatin' time with the breathing

Driving over Kanan
Singing to my soul
'Cause people out there turn the music into gold

My buddy Jim Bash
He is working pumping gas
And he makes two fifty for an hour

He's got rhythm in his hands
As he's tapping on the cans
Sings rock and roll in the shower

Driving over Kanan
Singing to his soul
'Cause people out there turn the music into gold

California girls are the prettiest in the world
Each one a song in the making
Singin' rhymes with me, I can hear the melody
Story is there for the taking

Driving over Kanan
Singing to my soul
'Cause people out there turn the music into gold

Driving over Kanan
Singing to my soul
'Cause people out there turn the music into gold

When the lights go down
In the California town
People are in for the evening

I jump into my car
And I throw in my guitar
My heart beatin' time with the breathing

Driving over Kanan
Singing to my soul
'Cause people out there turn the music into gold

Driving over Kanan
Singing to my soul
'Cause people out there turn the music into gold
People out there turn the music into gold
People out there turn the music into gold
