Gypsy Lyrics » Fleetwood Mac
[Verse 1]
So I’m back, to the velvet underground
Back to the floor, that I love
To a room with some lace and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy that I was
To the gypsy that I was
[Verse 2]
And it all comes down to you
Well you know that it does
And lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
Oh, and it lights up the night
And you see your
gypsy
You see your gypsy
[Bridge]
To the gypsy that remains
Faces freedom with a little fear
I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love
[Verse 3]
She is dancing away from me now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And a memory is all that is left for you now
You see your gypsy, oh
You see your gypsy

About Fleetwood Mac’s Gypsy from Mirage (1982)
One of the biggest hits by the band, “Gypsy” is both a nostalgic reflection on Stevie Nicks’s free-spirited life before joining Fleetwood Mac and a tribute to her late friend, Robin Snyder Anderson.
Written between 1978 and 1979, the ballad was going to be on Stevie Nicks’s solo album,
Bella Donna
. When Nicks’s childhood friend Anderson, who was also pregnant at the time, told her she’d been diagnosed with terminal leukemia, Nicks saw the song in a new light. She then decided to save the song for Fleetwood Mac’s next album.
In regards to the song’s ideas about going back to your roots, Stevie Nicks
has stated
:
“In the old days, before Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey [Buckingham] and I had no money, so we had a king-size mattress, but we just had it on the floor. I had old vintage coverlets on it, and even though we had no money it was still really pretty… Just that and a lamp on the floor, and that was it—there was a certain calmness about it. To this day, when I’m feeling cluttered, I will take my mattress off of my beautiful bed, wherever that may be, and put it outside my bedroom, with a table and a little lamp.”
Nicks has also
spoken about
the more somber inspiration for the song:
“The song Gypsy isn’t a real happy story. Gypsy is a lot about returning to San Francisco. And Gypsy was written when my best friend [Robin] died of Leukemia and uh …about the fact that she wasn’t going to see the rest of this: I still see your bright eyes, it was like she wasn’t …going to make it. And uh, I was like the lone gypsy ~ this was my best friend from when I was 15 and so I was a solo gypsy all of a sudden and it was very sad for me and that’s sometimes when I write my very best songs.”

FAQs About Gypsy
What has the media said about the song?
Rolling Stone
named it the #6 greatest Fleetwood Mac song, saying:
Like so many Mac classics, ‘Gypsy’ has its roots in the ballad of Buckingham and Nicks.
As Nicks told
Rolling Stone
in 2014
, ‘We write about each other, we have continually written about each other, and we’ll probably keep writing about each other until we’re dead.’ Back when she and Buckingham were just another struggling pair of hungry songwriters in San Francisco, Nicks used to visit a downtown store called the Velvet Underground, where Janis Joplin and Grace Slick shopped, and fantasize about being able to afford the clothes. She told herself, ‘I’m not buying clothes, but I’m sure as hell standing in the place where the great women have stood.’ By 1982, she could afford to buy the whole damn store – but in ‘Gypsy,’ she looks back to the freedom of those early days. As Nicks said in 1988, ‘In the song “Gypsy” it says, “Going back to the Velvet Underground/Back to the floor.” … which means my bed went back on the floor. … There’s a part of that [era] that there will never be again.’
