Beautiful gypsy riding in a caravan
With a black mongrel and an old man
In the cold winter
Off to a world
That is new
And yet unknown
To a place that she will make her own
Across the dusty Arabian sands
With a glowing crystal ball in her hands
Armed with magical spells
And Voodoo like bells
Educated in the art of healing
With herbal roots
And exotic fruits
Robed in her long black tunic
And her big black boots
Her thick black hair
Raven black
Engulfs her pretty little face
Ravishing beauty
That turns heads in every little place
What will the future hold?
As they seek great fortune
Happiness and gold
Across the fields
They watch
Horse riding
Over the snow flakes
And across the hilly villages
Off to the city in the north
Where the Great robber pillages
Beautiful gypsy riding in her caravan
She arrives in a strange land
And meets a crowd of people
Shouting from a steeple
Go back! Go back!
But a preachers offer water
And asked the old man
Is this your daughter?
Beautiful gypsy riding in her caravan
Found a home to stay
She went down on her knees
To pray
She is too far from home any way
You saved them then
But fell again
The circle’s in the sky
Divided fence
And happenstance
Don’t care if it’s a lie
Tomorrow’s day
Fades into grey
And blue melts into black
As silent sounds
And crushing pounds
Creep in for the attack
An empty stage
And crumpled page
Bleed deep into your brain
Don’t ever sleep
Don’t ever weep
Don’t ever feel the pain
The same old room
Familiar gloom
The same old window’s stare
As tears rain down
Disfigured clown
Why should you even care
But something now
Not there before
Won’t let you go away
A million voices
Fill the air
A million voices pray
