WEBMISTRESS speculates:
I think this is about Lindsey, as I always do! Stevie and Lindsey always had a great physical relationship "in the still of the night" but fame destroyed the relationship that allowed them to achieve that level of intimacy... "what price glory?" And though he tries hard, she still doesn't think it's right (although she blames it on a mysterious "they" in this song). Because of that, she wishes he wouldn't make it so easy to give into passion; that only makes it harder for her to be strong and resist.
She tells him to "go your way", echoing Lindsey's Go Your Own Way, but like in Silver Springs, she tells him he'll be "lonely" and he "[w]on't forget" her. Towards the end, she admits that she makes it easy to give in to passion, too. A strange sentiment from someone who claims to be trying to separate herself from a relationship!
KELLY speculates:
Well, I think it's about someone else, who's on the road too. Don't make it easy in the still of the night. She knows those voices (or people) are right and its probably not gonna work. But she wants him. And she's lettin' him (Mick?) know. I mean if she really wanted Lindsey back (and why would she...have you ever had to work everday with someone you dated for years, and he was a butt on top of that...its Hell, jealousy central) she could'a had him with the snap of a finger...But why would she want him back, when someone has kicked you on stage...that kinda kills the romance...wouldn't you say.
This is Stevie at her best. She is with a lover at night it does not matter who and she captures so magnificently her deep feelings during this interlude. She is a magnificent complicated woman who wants love and it is impossible for her because she has become Stevie Nicks. She loved Lindsey first and that is where she learned about joy and pain and this pattern probably continued with all other lovers.ers.
