The Gypsy

Gypsy

Married for love, that was buried in fear,

I stayed by his side, for my heart kept me near

But hidden below the folds of my soul

Was a wanderers heart, that never was whole

Give me green for my feet, and blue overhead

My lover beside me, and hay for my bed

There's a good God in Heaven, with a masterful plan

I was born as a gypsy, and a gypsy I am

The stars up above, shine down to my eyes

And I yearn for the earth that knows foreign skies

Over the mountains, and over the sea

My dear friend the west wind will soon come for me

Give me starlight to guide us, and strength for the storm

My lover beside me, for he'll keep me warm

There's a good God in Heaven with a masterful plan

I was born as a gypsy, and a gypsy I am
