Generate meaning
1
A young gypsy fell out in a slumber
2
Heading north with a driver he knew
3
Someone he'd lived with and trusted
4
A young woman who trusted him too
5
That very same day the young gypsy
6
Had come from a farm in the west
7
Where the children had played through the heat of the day
8
Affording the gypsy no rest
9
And the gypsy's bones were weary
10
And the front seat looked secure
11
And the gypsy slept on until the sun it was gone
12
And the stars pierced the eyes of the girl at his side
13
The next morning's day would be Easter
14
He'd dress in his only fine shirt
15
And shuffle through clusters of strangers
16
With his gaze and his shoes in the dirt
17
And the woman who loved him would watch him
18
Protect him from curious stares
19
For the womenfolk tend to be friendly
20
And the gypsy's as young as he's fair
21
And the evening brought on laughter
22
And jars of bright red wine
23
And the gypsy drank some and the gypsy had fun
24
And his dancing got wild and the grandmothers smiled
25
Sleeping came easily after in the arms of the woman
26
That fold up the secrets and dreams of the gypsy
27
That will never be sought or be sold
28
In fact, they will never be told for the gypsy is two years old
