Ocean Gypsy
(M. Dunford / B. Tatcher)
© Turn of the Cards Music

Try to take it all away, learn her freedom just inside a day
And find her soul to find their fears allayed
Try to make her love their own, they took her love, they left her there
They gave her nothing back that she would want to own

Gold and silver, rings and stones, dances slowly off the moon
No one else could know, she stands alone
Sleeping dreams would reach for her, she cannot say the words they need
She knows she’s alone and she is free

Ocean Gypsy of the Moon
The Sun has made a thousand nights for you to hold
Ocean Gypsy, where are you?
Shadows followed by the stars have turned to gold, turned to gold

Then she met a hollow soul, filled him with her light and was consoled
She was the Moon and he the Sun was gold
Eyes were blinded with his light, the sun she gave reflected back the night
The Moon was waning almost out of sight

Softly Ocean Gypsy calls, silence holds the stars awhile
They smile sadly for her where she falls
Just the time before the dawn, the sea is hushed, the ocean calls her
Day has taken her, and now she’s gone.

Ocean Gypsy of the Moon
The Sun has made a thousand nights for you to hold
Ocean Gypsy, where are you?
Shadows followed by the stars have turned to gold, turned to gold

No one noticed when she died, Ocean Gypsy shackled to the tide
The ebbing waves returning, spreading wide
Something gone within her eyes, her fingers lifeless struck the sand
Her battered soul was lost, she was abandoned

Silken threads like wings still shine, winds take pleasure, still make patterns
In her lovely hair, so dark and fine
Stands on high beneath the seas, cries no more, her tears have dried
“Oceans weep for her”, the ocean sighs

Ocean Gypsy of the Moon
The Sun has made a thousand nights for you to hold
Ocean Gypsy, where are you?
Shadows followed by the stars have turned to gold, turned to gold
