WIDE SARGASSO SEA
© Stevie Nicks, Dave Stewart

In the beginning she was stunning and pure
When he first saw her he fainted to the floor
She was distant and arrogant
From the start
She did not see the fragile state
Of his heart
She fell in love with him
On that very day
She became softer
In every way

Even though
They were so in love
they drew a line in the sand
Just because
They did not know each other
They did not trust
The only thing they did together
Was to make love

So paradise found
Was not paradise to him
Oh yes he loved her
But he was still an Englishman
Tropical birds
And the heat
And the ocean
Only drove him crazy
Drove her away from him

Even though
They were so in love
they drew a line in the sand
Just because
They did not know each other
They did not trust
The only thing they did together
Was to make love

She burned his house down saying
You may have forgotten me
But you'll remember this
You fell to the ground when you saw this
My face my eyes my lips
You may have forgotten me
But you'll never forget that kiss
Even though
They were so in love
they drew a line in the sand
Just because
They did not know each other
They did not trust
The only thing they did together
Was to make love

When that big house burned down all around her
In the smoke and the fire
In the devastation they never found her
She went back into her red dress
Back to her white house
To her ocean
And after that no words were spoken
About the two of them
Ever again

Even though
They were so in love
they drew a line in the sand
Just because
They did not know each other
They did not trust
The only thing they did together
Was to make love

In the beginning

She was stunning

And pure

In the smoke and the fire

Well they never found her

She went back into her ocean

Back to her white house

For awhile they were so in love

For awile they were so in love

She burned his house down

My face
My eyes
My lips

You may have forgotten that

You may have forgotten that

You may have forgotten that

You may have forgotten that
Kiss
