Torn between the | |
Gypsy and the | |
Rose I was led on | |
I suppose | |
For the Gypsy was always out of reach. | |
I crossed her palm with silver just to know | |
What the future had to hold | |
But she only turned her back on me. | |
The Gypsy said no man could make her stay | |
I followed anyway, living only day to day | |
I left the rose as quiet as the night | |
Whatever she felt then, she kept inside. | |
Ah, the years they seemed to change my | |
Gypsy's soul | |
She grew weary of the road | |
Looking ‘round for a better way to live. | |
She traded in her caravan for gold | |
Pretty things to have and hold | |
Always wanting more than | |
I could give. | |
Came the day | |
I just had to go | |
She screamed: ‘ | |
I should have known but | |
I never thought | |
I'd fall' | |
I said: ‘ | |
You're the one who had the crystal ball' ‘ | |
Perhaps you never saw me there at all'. | |
Torn between the | |
Gypsy and the | |
Rose It was | |
Romany I chose | |
I was only caught up in a dream. | |
If you see someone wearing | |
Gypsy clothes | |
Be wary of the pose | |
For she may not be all that she seems. | |
The Rose moved on, she left here long ago | |
For where, nobody knows just to find another life | |
I think about her sometimes in the night | |
I never knew the red rose from the white. | |
Torn between the | |
Gypsy and the | |
Rose. I was torn between the | |
Gypsy and the | |
Rose. |
Torn between the | |
Gypsy and the | |
Rose I was led on | |
I suppose | |
For the Gypsy was always out of reach. | |
I crossed her palm with silver just to know | |
What the future had to hold | |
But she only turned her back on me. | |
The Gypsy said no man could make her stay | |
I followed anyway, living only day to day | |
I left the rose as quiet as the night | |
Whatever she felt then, she kept inside. | |
Ah, the years they seemed to change my | |
Gypsy' s soul | |

Looking round for a better way to live. | |
She traded in her caravan for gold | |
Pretty things to have and hold | |
Always wanting more than | |
I could give. | |
