Gipsy

Suzanne Vega

you come from far away whit pictures in your eyes


of coffeshop and morning streets,


in the blue and silent sunrise,


but night is the cathedral,where we recognized the sign


we stranger know each other now


as part of the whole design


oh, hold me like a baby, that will not fall asleep


curl me up inside you,and let me hear your trhough the heat


you're the jester of this courtyard,with a smile like a girl's


distracted by the women, with the dimplers and the curls


by the pretty and mischievous


by the timid and the blessed


by the blowing skirt of ladies


who promise to gather you to theyr breast


oh hold me like a baby..........


you have hands of raining water,and that earring in your ear


the wisdom of your face denies the number of your years


with the finger off the potter and the laughing tale of a fool


the arrange of disorder whit your strange and simple rules


yes,now i've met me another spinner of strange and gauzy threads


with a long and slender body, and a bump upon the head


OH HOLD ME LIKE A BABY................


with a long and slender body,and the sweetest softest hands


and we'll blow away forever soon,and go on to different lands


and please do not ever look for me


but with me you will stay


and you will hear yourself in song


blowing by one day.
