Lyrics Lora Loves

[lora]

I'm so in love with Stevie Nicks right now. I've been listening to this Enchanted collection, and her songwriting talent just blows me away. I've chosen several favorites already and would like to share the lyrics of some of those with you. My first choice was Stand Back, but I changed my mind and decided to do this one instead.

Rooms On Fire
Stevie Nicks, Rick Nowels

Somewhere out in the back of your mind...somewhere
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
Every time 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
Every time 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

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

Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Every time 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

I agree with you, Lora - Stevie is quite a gifted lyricist. I especially like the first verse of this song, and also the line "long nets of white cloud my memory' - a very vivid image. 'Stand Back' is a huge favorite of mine also!

The lyrics of the first verse ARE especially good. This is a really good song. I love Stand Back as well, but I think my favorite has to be Ooh My Love. Are you familiar with it? And I also love Talk To Me, although Stevie did not write that one.
