Lyrics Landslide

Landslide was written by Stevie Nicks and reflects on her relationship with Lindsey Buckingham, her bandmate in Fleetwood Mac and partner in life. It was inspired by a moment of decision in her life, considering whether to go back to school or continue her musical career. The song was written while Nicks was in Aspen, Colorado.

 I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky what is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my li-i-i-i-i-i-i-ife

Mmm...

Well, I've been afraid of changing cause I
Built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
And I'm getting older too


Well, I've been afraid of changing cause I
Built my life around you
But time makes you bolder, even children get older
And I'm getting older too
Oh, I'm getting older too

Ah, ah, take my love, take it down
Ah, ah, climb a mountain and turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Will the landslide bring you down?
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills...

Will the landslide bring you down?
Oh, oh, the landslide bring you down?
