In the Journey
Gypsy Woman's Spell: A Tale of Love, Loss, and Redemption
Lyrics
I was a fool I was so much younger then
I acted foolishly when I was younger
The night she took me by surprise
I was surprised by a particular night
I should have known all the trouble that I'd be in
I should have foreseen the troubles
But then she hooked me with those eyes
Her captivating eyes drew me in
Her drink was gin as she said “Tonight would never end”
She drank gin and implied the night was endless
But her love weighed so heavy on my mind
Her love weighed heavily on my thoughts
For she was the live-in lover of a drummer I called my friend
She was involved with a drummer who was my friend
She weren't nothing but a gypsy in disguise
She was nothing but a disguised gypsy
Gypsy woman, how'd you do that to me?
Questioning how she affected me
Gypsy woman, stole my heart and then you set me free
She captured my heart and then let me go
Gypsy woman, how'd you learn to like that?
Wondering about her abilities
Gypsy woman, come on back
Inviting her to return
Spending my wages on rose and wine
I spent money on romantic gestures
We'd ride the days and we'd dance the nights
We enjoyed the days and danced through the nights
The things we could do in my old VW
We could do a lot of things in my old VW
The city lights never seemed so bright from the reservoir
The city lights appeared brighter from a distance
And my friends they would warn me
Friends warned me about her
Saying she's one fickle queen
Saying she's unpredictable
Better get out while the getting is good my friend
Advising me to leave while I can
And besides her old drummer man is looking
Warning about her intimidating partner
And he's so big and bad and mean
Her partner was tough and menacing
But what I didn't know then is what I know too well
I didn't know then what I know now
She played me like a violin
She manipulated me skillfully
Gypsy woman, how'd you do that to me?
Reflecting on how she affected me
Gypsy woman, stole my heart and then you set me free
She captured my heart and then released me
Gypsy woman, how'd you learn to like that?
Curiosity about her methods
Gypsy woman, come on back
Asking her to return
So you tell me that you're leaving me now
Realization of her leaving
After all the times that we have been through
Reflecting on the times spent together
As your clown how am I gonna ever go home
Feeling lost and unsure without her
Somebody tell me what am I gonna do
Seeking guidance on what to do
And so it goes I lost my pride and I lost my job
Consequences: lost pride and job due to her
This gypsy woman took nearly every thing I called my own
She took nearly everything I owned
It was a big surprise
It was unexpected
So next time she comes dancing prancing through the town
Planning to recognize her next time she appears
Gonna recognize the gypsy, I'm gonna recognize the gypsy
Intending to acknowledge her true identity
Gonna recognize the gypsy in disguise
Determined to see through her disguise as a gypsy
