Gypsy Lady

You never give yourself completely
It's just that you've been hurt before
You're so afraid to let me love you
You never leave an open door
Don't judge me by some other lover
Who broke your heart and walked away
Come let's be fair with one another
My world is yours i swear it
Say the word and we can share it

Chorus:
Don't hide your love
(don't hide your love)
Not if you care for me
(not if you care for me)
It isn't fair for me
To worry and wonder and wait
Don't hide your love
(don't hide your love)
Just love me here and now
(just love me here and now)
We'll work it out somehow
Don't you keep us apart
Baby unlock your heart
Don't hide your love

Well i now the past has bought you sorrow
The clouds still hang around today
But don't let the rain, fall on tomorrow
Baby we can make it together
'cause i'm gonna love you forever

Chorus

I've been so many places in my life and time
Sung a lot of songs i've made some bad rhyme
I got out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now i'm singing this song
Singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what i hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darling can you please see through me
Cause we're alone now
And i'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth
We're only nothing
You came out in front when i was hiding
But now i'm so much better
And if my words can come together
Listen to the melody
Cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and i was singing this song for you
Singing this song, singing this song for you

when i go away
I know my heart can stay with my love
It's understood
Everywhere with my love
My love does it good, whoa
My love, oh only my love
My love does it good

And when the cupboard's bare
I'll still find something there with my love
It's understood
Everywhere with my love
My love does it so good, whoa
My love, oh only my love
My love does it good

Only my love, oh only my love
Only my love, hold the other things to me
Oh, only my love, oh only my love
Only my love does it good to me

Everywhere with my love
Don't you see my love
It does it so good
Oh, only my love, only my love
My love does it good

Don't ever ask me why
I never say "good-bye" to my love
It's understood
'cause everywhere with my love
My love does it good, whoa
Only my love, oh only my love
My love does it good

Oh only my love
Only my love does it good to me,whoa

I had a taste of bitter life
At sweet sixteen
I was growing up too fast
If you know what i mean
Met an older man
Who taught me his own way to live
And all i had to do to keep him
Was to give and give

Chorus:
The carousel man
Kept me going around and round
Carousel man always know
That i'd stay around
The carousel man
Wouldn't let me off his merry-go-round

I followed him around in traveling shows
Along the main county lines
Watching him drinking his mind away
Not ever knowing my name at time
Each night when the show closed down
He used to tell me of his dreams
He was wearing new french suits
While i mended my torn jeans

Chorus

Then one night in santa fe
The horses stop going around
There he was my poor rich man
Lying on the mexico ground
All the sad music of his life
Is still spinning in my mind
The carousel starts up again
And i found my place in life

Chorus x 2

Look at us the picture of happiness
Not so long ago, ah not so very long ago
The pride of all our friends
The perfect couple were we
Is this how it will end?
Just a sad, sad story

Chorus:
Living in a house divided
With a love that's so one sided
There's no chance at all
The walls have got to fall
Living in a house divided
With a love that's so one sided
There's no chance at all
The walls have got to fall
Tumbling down

Look at us the king and queen of emptiness
Living inside our castle of loneliness
Unable to make amends
Such perfect strangers are we
Is this how it will end?
Just a sad story

Chorus x 3

Here it is again monday morning
And i really got the blues
But it don't much matter
I got no need to smile
And i don't think i will for quit awhile

Chorus:
So it might as well stay monday from now on
Cause it seems that the only one i ever love is gone
And it just might as well stay monday from now on

Go away mister sun i can't use you
Brighten someone else's life
Let the darkest hide me and carry off my pain
For there's nothing you can do, nothing you can do,
Nothing you can do to make things change

Chorus

Let the darkest hide me and carry off my pain
For there's nothing you can do, nothing you can do,
Nothing you can do to make things change
And it might as well stay monday from now on
Might as well stay monday from now on

Read your note this mornin'.
'bye-bye girl', that's all it said.
Glad i found it first,
Before the kids got out of bed.

Baked a tray of muffins.
Hung some wet-wash out to dry.
By the time the kids got up,
I could look them in the eye.

You've gone away, you've gone away.
How will i get though the day?
This god-forsaken day.

Drank some bitter coffee.
Read your note ten times or more.
When i'd washed the dishes twice,
I got down and scrubbed the floor.

Empty chair at supper.
Everybodys actin' strange.
Food just gettin' cold.
Kids real quiet for a change.

You've gone away, you've gone away.
How will i get through the day?
This god-forsaken day.

Rain was fallin' hard
As i walked slowly up the stairs.
Pushed my tears back down
As i stood listenin'
To their prayers.

There's your empty pillow.
Your side's flat right to the wall.
Now's the time for private cryin'.
Now it hurts me
Most of all.

You've gone away.
I turn off the light.
How will i get through the night?
This god-forsaken night.
This long and lonesome, god-forsaken night.
