The 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 |
