DESCRIPTION:
I wrote and performed these original lyrics to Black Violin's instrumental "Gypsy." I hope you enjoy it!
Lyrics:
i'm a gypsy
a leaf on the wind
and you'll miss me
like you miss a sin
i know, i know it's hard
to watch me go

you could catch me
i'll let you win
but i'm empty
like a bottle of gin
and it's a tragedy
one that began
where you left me
adrift in this land

i'm a gypsy
a leaf on the wind
and you'll miss me
like you miss a sin
i know, i know it's hard
to watch me go

if you let me
i'll creep right in
and then you'll get me
i'll seep deeper and then
time will wreck me
with its mischievous grin
it will draw me on
like a sad violin

i'm a gypsy
a leaf on the wind
and you'll miss me
like you miss a sin
i know, i know it's hard
to watch me go

i'll be bare feet
dancing to the beat
of my heart song
while you sing along
to this melody
freed from within
no longer heavy, like
a fly without wings

i'm a gypsy
a leaf on the wind
and you'll miss me
like you miss a sin
i know, i know it's hard
to watch me go

you could catch me
i'll let you win
but i'm empty
like a bottle of gin
and it's a tragedy
one that began
where you left me
adrift in this land

i'm a gypsy (if you let me)
a leaf on the wind (i'll creep right in)
and you'll miss me (and then you'll get me)
like you miss a sin (i'll seep deeper and then)
i know, i know it's hard (time will wreck me)
to watch me go (with its mischievous grin)
(it will draw me on)
(like a sad violin)

if you let me (i'll be bare feet)
i'll creep right in (dancing to the beat)
and then you'll get me (of my heart song)
i'll seep deeper and then (while you sing along)
time will wreck me (to this melody)
with its mischievous grin (freed from within)
it will draw me on (no longer heavy, like)
like a sad violin (a fly without wings)

i'm a gypsy
a leaf on the wind
and you'll miss me
like you miss a sin
i know, i know it's hard
to watch me go
