Gypsy

You come from far away

With pictures in your eyes

Of coffee shops and morning streets

In the blue and the silent sunrise

But night is the cathedral

Where we recognize the sign

We strangers know each other now

As part of the whole design

Oh hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep

Curl me up inside you and let me

Hear you through the heat oh

You're the jester of this courtyard

With a smile like the girls

Distracted by the women

With the dimples and the curls by the pretty

And the mischievous by the timid

And the blessed by the blowing skirts

Of ladies who promise to gather you to their breast

Oh hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep

Curl me up inside you and let me

Hear you through the heat oh

More

You have hands of rain and water

And that earing in your ear

The wisdom on your face denies the number of your ears

With the fingers of the potter

And the laughing tale of the fool

The arranger of disorder

With your strange and simple rule

Yeah now I've met me another spinner

Of strange and gauzy thread

With a long and slender body and a bump upon the head

Oh hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep

Curl me up inside of you and let me

Hear you through the heat oh

Oh

With a long and slender body and the

Sweetest softest hands

And will blow away forever soon

And go on to different lands

Please do not ever look for me

But with me you will stay

And you will hear yourself in song blowing by one day

But now hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep

Curl me up inside you

And let me heal you through the heat ah ah ah
