Cover art for The Gypsy lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

this song is great, no comments? i love the imagery. my favorite part is the "leave your circus noise behind you" part. it immediately reminded me of bob dylan's "temporary like achilles" where he sang "lean into your hallway, lean against your velvet door. watch upon your scorpion who crawls across your circus floor"

i know the only similarity is the word "circus" but i know lightfoot was an inspiration of dylan's so i like to think maybe bd heard this song and thought "circus" as an adjective was cool.... i know i do
