Gypsy Days (Remastered 2021) Songtext
von Gino Vannelli

Once I knew a woman who lived in gypsy ways
And we made gypsy love in those my gypsy days
She wore broadcloth and rock jewels and secondhand lace
Her queenly tatters hung over her perfect form and grace
We would talk for hours about anything
From the front page news to Yeats
About the new Jerusalem
That quietly waits in everyone
Then she′d fill the room with spring root and sage
As we lay by candlelight
Our bodies locked in love from midnight
To the morning sun
When we were one
She walked the earth lightly
One inch above this world
A dreamy blue-eyed goddess


With an Andalusian swirl
She was a fierce spirit
Innocence untamed
No end to the eels of Adam
My paradise regained
Then she led me down to the edge of town
Where we lit our buddha sticks
As we floated high above the herringbone bricks
In dark galleries
A streetlamp made her eyes to shine
Like a beacon in the night
Offering this mariner a guiding light
Over stormy seas
And a few memories
Once I loved a woman who lived in gypsy ways
Would that I could return to those my gypsy days
