“Gold and Braid” was originally written during the sessions for Stevie Nicks' debut solo album Bella Donna.
The song centres around Nicks' relationship with Lindsey Buckingham. In 1998, she explained to Billboard Magazine:
Gold and Braid (…) [is] about Lindsey wanting more from me in our relations...
Though deep set and somewhat shadowed
Her life... her mystery
Well it's not so different than the way that he said
"So don't hide your eyes from me that way, baby"
In his heart he wishes her stardom
His eyes want for her much more
That's not so different
Than the way that he said
"There are so very few stars left"
Don't hide behind your hair
It's a bit of gold and braid
Easy come the tears
You see a pathway ending with a doorway
You slip toward the doorway
Been waiting there all day
All these years
Don't hide it
In his heart, he wishes to forget her
Like to make her better
And to hold her like a child
Don't hide your eyes that way
Don't hide anything not anymore
Because I never did not love you
I never did run from you
In a dream I said to you
That I'd always love you
Gold and Braid was written by Stevie Nicks.
Stevie Nicks released Gold and Braid on Mon Jul 27 1981.
