One of the biggest hits by the band, “Gypsy” is both a nostalgic reflection on Stevie Nicks’s free-spirited life before joining Fleetwood Mac and a tribute to her late friend, Robin Snyder Anderson.
Written between 1978 and 1979, the ballad was going to be on Stevie Nicks’s solo album, Bella Donna....

And it all comes down to you
I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
And it all comes down to you
