Behind The Mask

Written by stevie nicks and rick vito.


Was it in my mind
Or was it true
That woman used to hollywood living
Do you remember how
The angels sang
And your sorrows left you there
Right before the lights came up
Do you remember
You took my hand
Do you remember, my friend
Did you feel like it was
The second time with you,
That feeling of a vivid memory
Well it had to do
With a dream come true
And someone that you loved
And would always love
The second time around
For us
She never looked back
Someone that you loved
And would always love
The second time around, for us
She never looked back
She could never look back

Dim and wavering
On a wind-blown night
Whose honour, whose anger
Cold and quivering
As was the wind-blown night
Into which she'd fallen, fallen

Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom is standing next to you
My intentions were clear
I was with him
Everyone knew
Poor little fool

Beautiful as you are
With that high spirit
Morning star of evil hit me
Cut me like a knife
Cool and collected
She became that with time
Totally rejected

Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom is standing next to you
My intentions were clear
I was with him
Everyone knew
Poor little fool

It's all in the eyes
It's all in the way that you look
It's all in the way that you say very little
It's all in the way that you talk
Look at me with daggers
It won't do you any good
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen, fallen, fallen

Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom is standing next to you
My intentions were clear
I was with him
Everyone knew
Poor little fool

Look at me with daggers
It won't do you any good
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen

Freedom
Freedom
Everyone knew
Poor little fool
Poor little fool
Poor little fool
Freedom
Come with me
Poor little fool
Freedom

Don't you come too close to me
You're dangerous, can't you see
You can make the darkness mean more
Then it ever did
Ever did before

It's a devil's disguise
Angel in black
And i recognize the face behind the mask
It's a devil's disguise
Angel in black
I don't know if i want you back

You're the cool nights of the desert
And the hot kisses of the sun
Why is it that i don't belive you
When you say i'm the only one
I know i'm the lonely one

It's a devil's disguise
Angel in black
And i recognize the shadows from your past
It's a devil's disguise
Angel in black
Don't you know it'll never last
The face behind the mask

There will never be a second chance for you
Oh no
Not for you

It's a devil's disguise
Angel in black
And i recognize the face behind the mask
It's a devil's disguise
Angel in black
Don't you know it'll never last
The face behind the mask
It's a devil's disguise
Angel in black
And i recognize the shadows from your past
It's a devil's disguise
Angel in black
I don't know if i want you back
I don't know if i want you back
Don't you know it'll never last
The face behind the mask

When the sun goes down and the moon shines bright
Honey if you call my name, i will take away your pain
I will take good care of you tonight

Somebody broke your heart, tore your world apart
But that's all over, it's a brave new day
Somebody made you cry, took away your pride
But that's all over, let's be on our way

When the sun goes down and the moon shines bright
In my arms it's safe and warm, i give you shelter from the storm
I will take good care of you tonight

Somebody made you sad, treated you so bad
But that's all over- i won't let you down
Well he was just a fool, wonder why so cruel
But you'll forget him, when i come around

When the sun goes down and the moon rises high
Honey open up your door and you won't have to hurt no more
I will take good care of you tonight

Well step out of the shadows, let the night begin
When you hear me knockin', let me in

When the sun goes down and the moon shines bright
Honey if you call my name, i will take away your pain
I will take good care of you tonight

When the sun goes down and the moon rises high
In my arms it's safe and warm, i give you shelter from the storm
I will take good care of you tonight
Hurry, open up your door and you won't have to hurt no more
I will take good care of you tonight

Well i try and i try
You can't forget her
Can't run, can't hide
When you remember
Nights that won't fade away
Yea fade away

Well i still go crazy
When you hear her name
Feels like you just left today
And it drives you insane
But you keep holding on
Yea holding on

In the back of my mind
You live all the time
In the back of my mind
In the back of my mind
Every night, every day
That's where you still play
In the back of my mind

When i close my eyes
You can still touch her
And i fantasize
She's still your lover
When i wake up i see
The only place you'll be
I know where you'll be

In the back of my mind
You live all the time
In the back of my mind
In the back of my mind
Every night, every day
That's where you still play
In the back of my mind

I remember your eyes burning bright
Like we touched the summer sun
I can see your shadow standing there
On the streets where we used to run

Remember

In the back of my mind
You live all the time
In the back of my mind
In the back of my mind
Every night, every day
That's where you still play
In the back of my mind

In the back of my mind
You live all the time
In the back of my mind
In the back of my mind

One set of doors was the color of honey
One set of doors was pink and grey
Well i wonder which set is mine, said she
As she walked down the long hallway

Well i wonder which set of rooms are mine
For in these rooms she would live and die

Well it's better to have loved and lost
(ah but it's better not to lose)
Then to never have loved at all
(never have loved, never have loved at all)
Well it's better to have loved and lost
(ah but it's better not to lose)
Then to always be alone
(always be alone)
In your heart

I thought that there was more involved
Through all that time and all these months
I stopped many times to question you
Well i told you that it was the right thing to do

Well it's better to have loved and lost
(ah but it's better not to lose)
Then to never have loved at all
(never have loved, never have loved at all)
Well it's better to have loved and lost
(ah but it's better not to lose)
Then to always be alone
(always be alone)
In your heart

But i knew that this was just for now
And the time would take its toll upon us all
Well it would break our hearts
Tear it apart
But no one understood
The affairs of the heart

Well it's better to have loved and lost
Then to never have loved at all
(never have loved, never have loved at all)
Well it'll break your heart
Tear it apart
But no one understands
(no one understands)
The affairs of the heart

My love is like a rock
Nothing moves it away from you
And i can't feel the shock
You won't break it up
No matter what you do

When it all comes down
Stand on the rock
When you come back around
Stand on the rock

Your love is like the sea
Waves crashing against my heart
Changing constantly
But you won't change the love
Too strong to fall apart

When it all comes down
Stand on the rock
When you come back around
Stand on the rock

Sooner or later you'll see
Nothing's gonna change tthis love in me
Stand on the rock, 'cause it's all right
Stand on the rock
Oh you play so rough, so rough
But my love's too tough
Ya might as well give it up

Sooner or later you'll see
Nothing's gonna change tthis love in me
Stand on the rock, stand on the rock
Stand on the rock, stand on the rock

When it all comes down
Stand on the rock
When you come back around
Stand on the rock

When it all comes down
Stand on the rock
When you come back around
Stand on the rock
Stand on the rock
Stand on the rock
Stand on the rock
Stand on the rock
Stand on the rock
