From the recording No Sad Stories Tonight
Lyrics
Gipsy Fiddle
Roy Hurd
Dark skin woman dances with the flames of a midnight fire
Moon hangin full and low intensifies desire
Move in after sundown leave and before the dawn
Oh a gypsy heart is such a restless one
Music filling meadow and woods where gypsy bands bed down
Beasts of wild crawl close enough to hear the distant sound
Gypsy fiddle play
Be it on a hillside or a meadow in a valley low
Beside a stand of Locus where those town folk never go
Mosses are my bedding my blanket is the sky
Songs of leaves touch my ears as the wind passes by
Isn’t there a gypsy wandering restless in your soul
Walking footpaths of your mind where even you don’t dare to go
Chorus:
The road is always open the air is always free
Play your fiddle gypsy make a midnight memory
Gypsy fiddle play
Always we’ve been able to pack our things and go
No hard time deciding if a Y come in the road
Darkness sharpens the senses a gypsy loves the night
A way of life that warms the blood in me
Repeat Chorus:
Music filling meadow and woods where gypsy bands bed down
Dance for the stars sing in the pale moonlight
Gypsy fiddle play
