The Gypsy King Lyrics
Drawing a line
A ship in a harbour
Yes I will go
I’ll be going there soon
A blue map of Cornwall
Up on a bedroom wall
Drawing a line
I’ll be following soon
But how do I follow?
What road to be choosing?
Do I follow the star
Or the gypsy king?
I recall when I was younger
There was a fire
To travel the world
And shine with a passion
But as ambition shoots blank
Day by Day
On a train from Edinburgh
To the Kings Cross rain….
I see a small house
Built on the sea
I could live there alone
With a horse and a ukulele
But how do I get there?
What road to be choosing?
When the seasons so high
For losing
How do I follow
What road to be choosing?
Do I follow the star
Or the Gypsy King?
A ship in a harbour
Yes I will go
I’ll be going there soon
Up on a bedroom wall
Drawing a line
I’ll be following soon
What road to be choosing?
Do I follow the star
Or the gypsy king?
There was a fire
To travel the world
And shine with a passion
But as ambition shoots blank
Day by Day
On a train from Edinburgh
To the Kings Cross rain….
Built on the sea
I could live there alone
With a horse and a ukulele
What road to be choosing?
When the seasons so high
For losing
What road to be choosing?
Do I follow the star
Or the Gypsy King?

la la love patrick wolf damnit!
I found out in an interview that this song was written on a train - can really see that in the imagery. And that outro with the microphone being held out the window to record roadworks is brilliant :)
Oh my god. I love this song. I really have no idea why, but it is so incredibly beautiful.
The Gypsy King and Demolition are in competition for my favorite Patrick song. such an amazing track.
I can relate to this song so much at the moment... the line "I could live there alone with a horse and a ukulele" gets me every time.
The only thing to figure out is whether I follow the star or the gypsy king!
