Leslea Keurvorst Gypsy Sister Lyrics

Through a window on the world you sat and watched alone
While I wandered on the run, far from flesh and bone
1985, beneath an Island sky
Falling backwards in the sand...
Given one choice and one chance to fail and start again
While you remain, content to persevere through all the pain
The cherry orchard trees weren't enough to keep me rooted to
The lies of the land...

*Chorus:
Gypsy Sister, scraped the world to find what You could always see
Gypsy Sister, 20 years were just too much to hang on me
50 inches 'round your neck, but I'm still holding by a thread
Were You listening when I said
That I don't now if I'm ever coming back?

A restless heart's no consolation for all that's left behind
While a true adventurer can know countless kingdoms in their mind,
Forever sitting at the window, your face so cool,
My fire just fades against the glass...
*Chorus

Bridge:
He laboured in secret all the while
You wondered 'is he really mine?'
Truth scratched against your smile
And proved that pearly love is genuine
At last a consort truly worthy of a Gypsy Queen!
*Chorus...
