GYPSY ROOTS

GYPSY ROOTS

Put out the campfire, it’s time to be onward
Long is the dark night that stretches before us
Footsteps on a winding road
Many years that we’ve called this home

You and I share the gypsy blood
From the dead seas to the Bedouin dust
Windswept with the fallen stars
Scattered like leaves upon the hearth
By the road we’re on

Walking through the fields with you
Our love has gypsy roots
Falling through the years with you
Our love has gypsy roots
Blown upon the wind, we’re wildflowers in bloom
We always say that, our love has gypsy roots
And we’re laying them down

We’d seen the deserts and electric storms
The African sun soft as yellow corn
Followed the mountain streams
Across borders to the endless seas

You and I, we are the wandering kind
Romanies from the Tuscan skies
I never thought those days would end
I never thought that I’d miss all the people we met
But in the end
We bought land of our own

Walking through the fields with you
Our love has gypsy roots
Falling through the years with you
Our love has gypsy roots
Blown upon the wind, we’re wildflowers in bloom
We always say that, our love has gypsy roots
And I’m laying them down
I’m laying them down with you

Laying them down…
