Suzanne Vega - Gypsy

You come from far away
In the blue and silent sunrise
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
Where we recognized the sign
But night is the cathedral
We strangers know each other now


As part of the whole design
Curl me up inside you
That will not fall asleep
Oh, hold me like a baby

And let me hear you through the heat

You are the jester of this courtyard
With a smile like a girl's
With the dimples and the curls
Distracted by the women
By the pretty and the mischievous
By the timid and the blessed
By the blowing skirts of ladies

Who promise to gather you to their breast

Oh, hold me like a baby...


You have hands of raining water
And that earring in your ear
The wisdom on your face
Denies the number of your years
With the fingers of the potter
The arranger of disorder
And the laughing tale of the fool
With 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
Blowing by one day
But with me you will stay
And you will hear yourself in song


Oh, hold me like a baby
You come from far away
In the blue and silent sunrise
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
Where we recognized the sign
But night is the cathedral
We strangers know each other now


As part of the whole design
Curl me up inside you
That will not fall asleep
Oh, hold me like a baby

And let me hear you through the heat

You are the jester of this courtyard
With a smile like a girl's
With the dimples and the curls
Distracted by the women
By the pretty and the mischievous
By the timid and the blessed
By the blowing skirts of ladies

Who promise to gather you to their breast

Oh, hold me like a baby...


You have hands of raining water
And that earring in your ear
The wisdom on your face
Denies the number of your years
With the fingers of the potter
The arranger of disorder
And the laughing tale of the fool
With 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
Blowing by one day
But with me you will stay
And you will hear yourself in song


Oh, hold me like a baby
