The Gypsy's Wife Lyrics
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?
Ah the silver knives are flashing in the tired old cafe
A ghost climbs on the table in a bridal negligee
She says, "My body is the light, 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?
It's too early for the rainbow, too early for the dove
These are your final days, this is the darkness, this is the flood
And there is no man there is no woman who can't be touched
But you who come between them you will surely be judged
And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
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
Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
A ghost climbs on the table in a bridal negligee
She says, "My body is the light, my body is the way"
I raise my arm against it all and I catch the bride's bouquet
Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
These are your final days, this is the darkness, this is the flood
And there is no man there is no woman who can't be touched
But you who come between them you will surely be judged
Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
