"Thrown Down" by Fleetwood Mac

Words and music: Stevie Nicks

He fell for her again
She watched it happen
Every day, day by day
But more important
Night by night
She watched it all come into play
He held her hands
She listened to what he had to say

Thrown down
Like a barricade
Maybe now he could prove to her
That he could be good for her
And they should be together

I've shaken your faith in me, no
You've shaken my faith
In everything else
A decision no one makes
And now you're going home

Faith is a hard thing to hold on to
Something inside you says
I don't have to
You're not like other people
You do what you want to
You're not like other people
You do what you want to

Thrown down
Like a barricade
Maybe now he could prove to her
That he could be good for her
And they should be together

You say you're sorry
Now you should walk away
But it's so overwhelming
You have nothing left to say
You can sit outside his door and wait
Well, you can dedicate your pain to him

Thrown down
Like a barricade
Maybe now he could prove to her
That he could be good for her
And they should be together

About just how much
He never really told her
Thrown down

About how difficult it has been
To be without her
Thrown down



Why is it that all my favourite Fleetwood Mac songs happen to be penned by Stevie? (With, of course, the exception of "I'm So Afraid", which was written by Lindsay Buckingham.)
