Lyrics
Gypsy River
Look into my gypsy eyes
And have your way
Father says he?ll kill the one who tries
But please stay
Raging river flowing through my veins
We leave tomorrow in the pouring rain
Put your hand upon my velvet breast
I swear to God that you will have the rest
I love you so completely
And so deeply
Please don?t stop this raging
River running through my body
Through my veins, my soul
Without a sound
And if you try to stop this river
Gypsy river Gypsy River
River take you down
Ooo take me down
Father don?t deny my hearts desire
Mmmmm
Cause only my love can feed this fire
I dare to cross the line and not take heed
My dress is torn and planted is the seed
This winter will be angry keep me warm
He must be with me when my child is born
I love you so completely
And so deeply
Please don?t stop this raging
River runnin through my body
Through my veins my soul
Without a sound
And if you try to stop this river
Gypsy river gypsy river
River take you down
Ooo take me down
