SLEEPING GYPSY
She opened the door to sundown- and the crickets serenade
Today she embraced the music-that he teaches her to play
He arrives in his version of a carriage-Careful not to block the drive
Carrying two black cases-As her world starts to come alive
(chorus)
His smiles touched her untouched fears-His fingers on the strings drew out her tears
Marriage of wood and wire-Marriage of reality and desire
She opened the door and welcomed him-To her solitary place
She gave him an evening to rearrange-What she crafted in that place
She didn’t know where she was going-Only that he’d be her guide
She drew the drapes in that moment-Blocking remnants of the world
(chorus)
She wanted to play with him-Feeling unworthy
She allowed the music to enter her soul
Sweet tones are dancing around in her room
She wanted to dance with them mesmerized
If he would only lead
Grant her the passport to travel beyond-All her rules and time
And into the night how they stifled passion-With her by his side
(chorus)
By morning they knew that their time had all ended-Their feelings they couldn’t hide
He left with a smile and his two black cases-She stares at him from inside
(chorus)
