The first use of Nick's "ghost through a fog" line, which is used in the song "Sweet Girl" on "The Dance" and also in "Ghosts are Gone" in Nicks's own "In Your Dreams." Moreover, the song parallel's the Welsh myth of the goddess Rhiannon, who was courted by a king as she was out riding her horses, who teased him by running away from him. Yet, in the end, they did marry and had a child. The child was either kidnapped or killed as part of a plot to frame Rhiannon and she was given some bizarre punishment. But eventually, the true culprit is revealed and Rhiannon is exonerated, and takes her rightful place on the throne. I think that Nicks was using this story as a kind of parallel to her own life and her trying to overcome her own struggles.
