The Gypsy

The Gypsy


Was it the state of my loneliness
That made me make that choice
Or the loneliness that I heard
In the sound of your voice

It might have been the music
That seemed to fit so right
With all the sadness I felt
On that cold and snowy night

All that remains is what I am
And that is all that I'll see
Free to give away my love
All that I could give of me

And that's all I ever was
And that's how I'll stay

Just a wish
Just a memory

Of what I was

Was it the memory of someone
That said goodbye not long ago
Did I remind you of some feeling
When I walked in from the snow

So now I'll watch you walk away
Like so many other times before
But this time we know it's different
You'll never come back to my door

All that remains is what you are
And that is all that you will see
Free to give away your love
All to someone else like me

And that's all you ever were
And that's how you'll stay

Just a wish
Just a memory

Of what you were
