Gold Dust Woman Lyrics

[Verse 1: Stevie Nicks]
Rock on, gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon, dig your grave
Heartless challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray
Wake up in the mornin'
See your sunrise, loves to go down
Lousy lovers pick their prey
But they never cry out loud, cry out

[Chorus: Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks]
Well, did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now? Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home

[Verse 2: Stevie Nicks]
Rock on, ancient queen
Follow those who pale in your shadow
Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale, up for sale

[Chorus: Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks]
Well, did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
Well, is it over now? Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home
Well, did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
And now tell me, is it over now? Do you know how
To pick up the pieces and go home?

[Post-Chorus: Stevie Nicks]
And go home, and go home

[Outro: Stevie Nicks]
Ooh, pale shadow of a woman
Black widow
Pale shadow of a dragon
Dust woman
Ooh, pale shadow of a woman
Ooh, black widow
Ooh, pale shadow, she's a dragon
Gold dust woman
Woman, woman

The definitive magical Stevie Nicks vocal would have to be ‘Gold Dust Woman,’ She was possibly possessed at the end of that song. […] It evolved slowly. The basic track was very simple, kind of like a folk song. Stevie wanted it to grow. It just kind of snuck up...

What has the media said about the song?

Rolling Stone named it the #3 greatest Fleetwood Mac song, saying:

The chilling climax of Rumours is a seductive guitar ballad that doubles as a horror show. Nicks sings about a dark, sexual obsession and a drug rush as if they’re the same addiction, taunting, ‘Did she make you cry?/Make you break...
