Crying in the Night

Written by S. Nicks

She was that kind of lady
Times were hard
But she could come curling 'round you
Like fingers

But she'll leave you
Crying in the night
She will leave you
Crying in the night
Woah, she's going to leave you
Crying in the night
She's back in town
And she's looking around

Say you needed someone to depend on
You're all alone
She's the only one
Who can come take you far away
Take your breath away

But she'll leave you
Crying in the night
She will leave you
Crying in the night
Woah, she's going to leave you
Crying in the night
She's back in town
And she's looking around

Come on, baby
She's the wrong kind a' girl
She's a come-on lady
She's a tarnished pearl
She'll take your money
She'll wreck your world
Wreck your world
She's a come-on baby
Come-on girl
A "come-on" girl
Come on...girl
She's back
And she's looking around
And she's looking around
And she's looking around

Note: There is a single version of this which incorporates an electric guitar. You can listen to that here.

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

While Lindsey and Stevie were still on the "honeymoon" during the making of this album, Stevie has admitted being worried about all the female attention he was getting while touring with other bands without her (Lindsey went on tour with Don Everly in 1974, a member of his backup band). Imagining a scenario like this caused her to write Kind of Woman, and I think that it enabled her to write songs like this - again imagining what she would say if Lindsey left her for another woman.
