Gypsy Eyes

You’ve mirrored me in gypsy eyes,
               which never take but borrow

You’ve bathed me in your gypsy eyes,
               which are your pools of sorrow

You’ve gazed at me with gypsy eyes,
               which never see tomorrow ...

I just love this one, Terry. One of my favorite songs growing up was about a girl with green gypsy eyes. I liked to imagine being her with my green eyes!
