Gold Dust Woman #1 (Sessions, Roughs & Outtakes) Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

[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 morning
See your sunrise, loves to go down
Lousy lovers pick their prey
But they never cry out loud, cry out

[Chorus: Fleetwood Mac]
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: Fleetwood Mac]
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

[Chorus: Fleetwood Mac]
Well, did she make you cry?
Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love
Now tell me, is it over now?
Do you know how to pick up the pieces and go home?
And go home, and go home

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Ah, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, ah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
