Lyrics for The Gypsy's Wife
And where, where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight? I've heard all the wild reports, they can't be right But whose head, is this she's dancing with on the threshing floor? Whose darkness deepens in her arms a little more And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight? Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight? Ahh, the silver knives are flashing in that tired old café A ghost climbs on the table, in bridal negligeé She says, "My body is the light", she says, "My body is the way" I raise my arm against it all and I catch the bride's bouquet And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight? Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight? Too early for the rainbow, too early, for the dove These are the final days, this is the darkness, this is the flood And there is no man, there is no woman, can't be touched But you who come between them, will be judged And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight? Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
