Gypsy

Words and Music by Rachel Kane

Copyright © 1997 by Rachel Kane

you could have been a hero
legend in your time
you could have been the gypsy king
you got rhythm in the rhyme


you wanted to be an actor
and play those games they play
you wanted to be an eagle
so you could fly away


don't let it burn you, ashes to ashes
dust to dust
don't let it turn you
from the ones you trust


so your heart is heavy,
tied up in a knot
feel yourself on fire for
things that are not
there's glory in a simple work
you know the truth's never far behind
keep your hands together
we're gonna find some peace of mind


don't let it burn you, ashes to ashes
dust to dust
don't let it turn you
from the ones you trust


I want you, help me understand
I want you, walk me through this land
I want you, right up to the end
I want you, nobody else,
tell me do you want me too.


do you know what it's like
to have nothing
do you know what it's like to have more
do you wonder what the day
would bring
if we even up the score
you don't know what time it is
can't always say where you've been
can't predict the future
but you do know what you've seen


don't let it burn you, ashes to ashes
dust to dust
don't let it turn you
from the ones you trust


I want you, help me understand
I want you, walk me through this land
I want you, right up to the end
I want you, nobody else,
tell me do you want me too.
