Actually there are two interpretations of this song. Stevie Nicks has said it was influenced by the death of John Lennon and the death of a beloved uncle, both of which occurred in the same week of 1980. She has also said that the allusion to the "white winged dove" refers to the spirit leaving the body after death. In addition, she has said the lyrics are about losing someone you love and being unable to stop missing the person. On the other hand, many people have interpreted the song as the story of an older woman who fell in love with a younger man; and even though she knew they were not supposed to be together, that does not stop her from remembering how much she cared for him, and regretting what might have been.
