Lyrics Gold Dust Woman

Gold Dust Woman was written by Stevie Nicks for Fleetwood Macs album Rumours, released in 1977. The lyrics reflect Nickss struggles and addictions, with a specific allusion to cocaine use.


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

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

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

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

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
Go home, go home
This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
