Lyrics Gypsy Tree - Ryan O'Reilly

Gypsy Tree

Her yellow dress was torn
Her shoes were tired and worn
She took shelter from my storm
Beneath the Gypsy Tree
She carried other people’s cares
In the tears that soaked her hair
Climb the Gypsy Tree
Stay with me
Remain with me
Stay with me
Tonight
As the lights they flashed on by
A thick black smoke filled the sky
I could stop this if I try
If you showed me how
With a Bible on her knee
She smiled and said to me
This is a love song, can’t you see?
And I know that now
Stay with me
Remain with me
Stay with me
Tonight
And I stand at Hammersmith Station
Waiting for the beating to begin
It’s Summer in the sunshine
And Autumn in the wind
As the sunshine warmed her skin
She refused to let it in
Night-time burned her with it’s sin
Beneath the Gypsy Tree
Like the cockerel when it crew
It’s all over yes I knew
And I wept bitterly for you
Beneath a Gypsy Tree
And I stand at Hammersmith Station
Waiting for the beating to begin
It’s Summer in the sunshine
And Autumn in the wind
