Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song The Gypsy and the Rose , by - Al Stewart. Song from the album Russians & Americans, in the genre Иностранный рокThe Gypsy and the Rose |
| Torn between the Gypsy and the Rose |
| I was led on I suppose |
| For the Gypsy was always out of reach |
| I crossed her palm with silver just to know |
| What the future had to hold |
| But she only turned her back on me |
| The Gypsy said no man could make her stay |
| I followed anyway |
| Living only day to day |
| I left the rose as quiet as the night |
| Whatever she felt then, she kept inside |
| Ah, the years they seemed to change my Gypsy’s soul |
| She grew weary of the road |
| Looking round for a better way to live |
| She traded in her caravan for gold |
| Pretty things to have and hold |
| Always wanting more than I could give |
| Came the day I just had to go |
| She screamed «I should have known |
| But I never thought I’d fall» |
| I said «You're the one who had the crystal ball |
| Perhaps you never saw me there at all» |
| Torn between the Gypsy and the Rose |
| It was Romany I chose |
| I was only caught up in a dream |
| If you see someone wearing Gypsy clothes |
| Be wary of the pose |
| For she may not be all that she seems |
| The Rose moved on, she left here long ago |
| For where, nobody knows |
| Just to find another life |
| I think about her sometimes in the night |
| I never knew the red rose from the white |
| Torn between the Gypsy and the Rose |
| I was torn between the Gypsy and the Rose |
