Gypsy Girl

Tell your mother there’s a hurricane coming
Walk out to the well
And drop the stone inside
Sheltered by the tower
Watched the ships sail up the river
Cause the rain keeps poring
On this heart of mine

Sell your sorrow to the widow and her children
Worn out to the shore
And cast the thing below
After these years have passed
The pain still hurts a little
Cause the rain keeps poring
On this heart of mine

Last night I saw you dancing by the fire
With your long black hair
Someday soon you’ll leave your innocence behind you
Like a gypsy girl

Still tommorrow waits for news that’s coming
From the shore that brings the young man home
Yesterday you thought it used to be forever
But the rain keeps poring
On this heart of mine

Stay free
And cast opinions at the water
Look into yourself

Strange days went
But the old places still remind you
Of the one you lost

Last night I saw you dancing by the fire
With your long black hair
Someday soon you’ll leave your innocence behind you
Like a gypsy girl
