GYPSY GIRL

chords

songbook



Gypsy Girl, my silhouette is stranded at your wagon door: 
I only ask that you come out and do your gypsy dance for me. 
Gypsy Girl, I've watched you from afar before,  
Come out and teach me in your twirling how  to see. 
She said, "Play thou thine guitar for me, 
And yea, I just may dance for thee." 
And I played with passion I have never known before. 
 
Gypsy Girl, the moon is throwing colors everywhere, 
I only ask that you come close enough to talk to me that way. 
Gypsy Girl, I've heard that you are wise and fair, 
Come here and teach me in your wisdom what to say. 
She said, "Tell thou thine truth  to me, 
And yea, I just may speak with thee."  
And I told her truths I did not even know I knew. 

          Gypsy, Gypsy, I've never ever known a girl like you before 
          My body is not new before tonight. 
          Your wagon window shines in all the candle's eyes 
          The door is dark 
          My body caught between the dark and light. 

Gypsy Girl, your body burns me by its heat, 
I only ask that you lie down with me to make love beneath that star.    
Gypsy Girl, our love can make this night complete, 
Come on and teach me in your pleasure who you are. 
She said, "Give thou of thyself to me 
And yea, I just may give myself to thee." 
And we touched and laughed and danced and sang and played  
          all night.
