I think it's about Stevie's affair with Mick, which happened around the time this song was written & recorded. Of course it's a beautiful song, ("Everyone stays close 'til the fire fades...") You an attach your own personal meaning to the song ... that's the brilliance of Stevie's songs.
@bingoboy It's about Fleetwood Mac. And it was written during the Tusk period when they were having tough time again. It's a little like Chriss McVie's "Songbird" or Nicks's another gem "The Chain" - well, I know that this song was written about her relationship with Buckingham that was leading to an end, but with time it's got another interpretation that refers to the band and that - apart from struggles and other problems - they won't break the chain. That's why they opened with that song every performance on a Dance tour....

So yes, "The Chain" was created as a song about the band too - that's what Chris McVie said and that's what also Stevie said. But Nicks also admitted that she's singing in it about her breake up with Lindlsey too but in general "The Chain" was written about FM and that they will never get apart in spite of many problems. Stevie was the only one who truely wanted to keep the band together and that's why she was having...

In fact Stevie has many songs about FM but "The Chain", "Fireflies" and "The Battle of The Dragon" are the most famous ones.
