Gypsy Lament Songtext / Lyric

Sleep well, my Love

Sleep while the night sky weaves her spell

Sleep without pain

Sleep though I yearn to have you near me



The flames of all you were

Have vanished in the ground

Sweet scented rosemary is scattered all around



Wait just a while

For in no time we'll meet again

Though you were gone

Before we wed






I give blood to you earth, not take it to his own

No fire or water deep

Shall keep this bride from him



He left me while

The seas were wild against the shore

What foolish thief

Would dare defy the hand of fate?



I love you now as I'll never love again

The rocks beneath my feet

Have sunken deep



Earth to earth

My love my own shall be

Grow like the willow tree

No sadness bring to me



He the man, and I the woman

My love to me

This shall be
