Ocean Gypsy Lyrics

Tried to take it all away,

Learn her freedom just inside a day,

And find her soul

And 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.
