Gypsy Girl

You know the rock down by the water?
The one that made us take the dive?
No fear, no doubt, no falter
Plunging head first into life
Well, you know, when you know, when you know
When you're young

Your skin was smooth and the ground uneven
The sun concealing every trait
On the rock I kissed your eyebrow
With the salt still on your face
And we smiled as we dried, we entwined as we watched the tide

Oh, I thought...

My gypsy girl would settle down
And I thought
I'd keep her in this promised land
I thought
My gypsy girl would make a home and find
A resting place for her wandering mind

Now you say you've lost your grounding
And you feel that certain itch
Re-tracing every footstep
Baby, please don't scratch that stitch
You will go even though it won't show what might have been

Oh, I thought...

My gypsy girl would settle down
And I thought
I'd keep her in this promised land
I thought
My gypsy girl would make a home and find
A resting place for her wandering mind

Let's find the rock down by the water
Trace our way back to that place
Where I kiss your silly eyebrow
And bring the salt out of your face
Let us go where we know we can show what will have been

I wonder...

Where are you now?
Can you even tell?
Did you heed the call?
Did you see it all?
Do you even care?

My gypsy girl won't settle down
I know
Forever lost in foreign lands
I know
My gypsy girl won't make a home or find
A resting place for her wandering mind
