Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blue-green colors flashin'
I would be your only dream
Your shinin' autumn ocean crashin'
Don't say that she's pretty
And did you say that she loved you?
Baby, I don't want to know
Turn around, see me runnin'
I'll say I loved you years ago
Tell myself you never loved me, no
Don't say that she's pretty
And did you say that she loved you?
Baby, I don't want to know
Oh no
And can you tell me was it worth it?
Baby, I don't want to know
Time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me
Time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me
I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me
I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you
Give me just a chance
You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you
Was I such a fool?
I'll follow you down til' the sound of my voice will haunt you
Give me just a chance
You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you
Time cast a spell on you, but you won't forget me
I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me
I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice
Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac is a heart-wrenching song about a woman who loves a man deeply, but she has lost him to another woman. The song begins with the woman reminiscing about her love and thinking that the man could be her “silver spring”. She recognizes the serene beauty in him with blue-green colors flashing, and she could be his only dream, crashing like a shining autumn ocean. However, she doesn't want to know about the other woman, who might be beautiful or love him as well. She wishes time would cast a spell on him, but the memory of her voice will haunt him forever.
As the song progresses, she tries to convince herself not to love him and decides to turn around and run. She tries to tell herself that she loved him years ago, and he never loved her. The woman then asks the man whether it was worth losing her, but she doesn't want to know the answer. The song ends with her declaring her love for him and the fact that the sound of her voice would always follow him.
Throughout the song, the woman’s pain and desperation are palpable. Her inability to let go of her love for the man, despite losing him to another woman, is heartbreaking. The song is a testament to the power of love and the pain of loss.

Stevie Nicks deadass locking eyes with Buckingham for a solid minute while singing is possibly the best power move in music history. "You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you" indeed.

I love this so much! The last "never get away" was so powerful and eerie.
