lyrics

Ode 31/3/99

You've been away for quite sometime
And I see your coming back now
Your bags look heavy
And your feet look sore
You been walking on the track now

And the road was long
And the music sold
And the story told once again 
My gypsy friend

Like the warm embrace of an autumn sun
Our friendship does go back now
And I think of you when I need to
Keep the loneliness away

And my hands are tired
From the long goodbyes
So we laugh our lives away again 
My gypsy friend

And lovers and wives and money
May all come and go
I'm still tuning guitars and playing in bars
As you know

And maybe your right
I lost sight of my ultimate goals
...who would know

So sit with me now and lets break some bread
And remember who we are
I'm still making jokes about driving over a cliff
So let’s go and borrow a car

Cos the road is long
And the music sold
Now my hands grow cold once again
My gypsy friend
