Gypsy Hands Lyrics

I heard the story on a cold autumn day

It smelled like the rain had befriended my pain

Oh I never believed in those whose tears

Are blinding their minds and frightening their eyes

But now the world has shown chess pieces are blown

And prestigious awards are no longer my own

So I guess I'll go with a couple of friends

We're gonna try to find that old gypsy again

Oh gypsy where have you been

Can't your deck of cards still pretend

Oh gypsy weren't we friends

Turn the odds in my favour with these gypsy hands

Gypsy hands

Satin sheets, pearls and numbers

Nailed upon her varnished lumber

While I slumbered to the scent of her words

Reminding me I was the king of the world

Ah how I feared these paintings and dreams

Would break upon her shoreline and pierce me with a spear

Ah but now I know as I'm drowning below

Screaming "friend be a man don't fear that black crow"

Oh gypsy where have you been

Can't your deck of cards still pretend

Oh gypsy weren't we friends

Turn the odds in my favour with these gypsy hands

Gypsy hands

Entitlement, greed and vice

Corruption, destruction pollution & rhymes

Oh these were all part of her life

But she never warned me they might be in mine

And for you my friends, who still don't understand

Listen closely to these words I penned

"For Solitude was her last name,

Ever since we wed on that autumn day"

Oh gypsy where have you been

Can't your deck of cards still pretend

Oh gypsy weren't we friends

Turn the odds in my favour with these gypsy hands

Gypsy hands

Oh gypsy where have you been

Can't your deck of cards still pretend

Oh gypsy weren't we friends

Turn the odds in my favour with these gypsy hands
