Ocean Gypsy

Tried to take it all away

Learn her freedom just inside a day

And find her soul

To find their fears allayed

Tried to make her love their own

They took her love they left her there

They gave her nothing back

That she would want to own

Gold and silver rings and stones

Dances slowly of the moon

No-one else can know

She stands alone

Sleeping dreams will reach for her

She cannot say the words they need

She knows she's alone

And she is free

Chorus:

Ocean gypsy of the moon

The sun has made a thousand nights

For you to hold

Ocean gypsy where are you

The shadows followed by the stars

Have turned to gold, turned to gold

Then she met a hollow soul

Filled him with her light

And was consoled she was the moon

And he, the sun was gold

Eyes were blinded with his light

The sun she gave

Reflected back the night

The moon was waning almost out of sight

Softly ocean gypsy calls

Silence holds the stars awhile

They smile sadly

For her where she falls

Just the time before the dawn

The sea is hushed

The ocean calls her

Day has taken her and now she's gone

Chorus

No-one noticed when she died

Ocean gypsy shackled to the tide

The ebbing waves were turning

Spreading wide

Something gone within her eyes

Her fingers lifeless stroke the sand

Her battered soul was lost

She was abandoned

Silken threads like wings still shine

Winds take pleasure still make patterns

In her lovely hair

So dark and fine

Stands on high beneath the seas

Cries no more

Her tears have dried

Oceans weep for her the ocean sighs

Chorus
