Gypsy Woman

Wondering where you are now Gypsy woman
Wondering if those dark eyes can cast a spell
Remembering those warm nights Gypsy woman
Living here without you sure is hell
I was just a young lad Gypsy woman
Met you on an island but couldn’t stay
In your eyes I could see the fire
Thinking about you still takes my breath away
At a local bar I received a warning
Be careful son, she’ll tear your world apart
When I sailed away, I remember looking for you
Before you left me, you stole away my heart
There’s not a night that I don’t dream about you
Or smell your scent in the summer breeze
Sometimes I just can’t bear to be without you
And wish I could sail back across those seas
Too many years have passed now Gypsy woman
But the fire still burns inside this lonely heart
Your smile still haunts my dreams yet Gypsy woman
I awake at night and feel my teardrops start
On the shoreline dreaming beyond the horizon
Wondering if we were blessed or if we sinned
Can you hear me when I call you Gypsy woman
Send a message that I love you on the wind.

This reminds me of the old old song, (my mom would play it on the piano...) I still remember the words to "Golden Earring"...the poem you wrote is haunting, could be set to that old music. Great job, Vince!!

Hope the Gypsy woman receives the message you send "on the wind," Vince. It's hard to live without someone you loved this much. Perhaps she still things longingly of you. Hope she makes her way back into your life. Beautifully written poem. Love, Carolyn
