You walk on down the road is long
and I can't see how or when I'll be along
so I can see your face again
some are born to take the tide where it may run
some try and hide behind the walls of dreams
they once believed in
words lying low on a long summer night
stars riding high on above
one foot in heaven but I couldn't see the light
for the gypsy
in every man there's a child I guess who
never grows and yearns for things to stay familiar
more or less the same
I took my own sweet company next to my heart
and in my soul there were others who took the
part, but never you
close to the edge every once in a while
take what you can don't ask the price
spare a glass of memories and raise it with a smile
to the gypsy wheels on fire running free
the arctic night the tropic sea
where ancient cities slumber in the sand
so together and alone
laughter filling glasses friends you never know and
may never know again
just another night on a strangers floor
sad smiling au revoir
well I could ask for nothing
but I couldn't ask for more
for the gypsy
Mmmm for the gypsy
Yeah for the gypsy
for the gypsy
