Story Behind The Song
I was just jamming one morning after consuming large quantities of caffeine and came up with the main guitar chords and the Eastern riff and laid them down on my computer DAW. About a year later, when our band was looking for songs to do for our album CD project, I finished up writing the rest of the song.
Song Description
Have you ever spotted a beautiful someone in a crowd or at a party, gotten eye-contact for a second, and then they disappear, never to be seen again?
Well that's what this song is about.
I also got the idea for the "Gypsy Girl" concept from "Esmerelda" in Disney's animated version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".

Lyrics
"GYPSY GIRL "
Kevin Simnacher/©2011 SimRocker Publishing (BMI). All rights reserved.
In the heat of the night - there's a strange dark gypsy girl
With long black hair - she stops and stares
with her eyes of green, she looked right through me
She caught my gaze - that's how she captured me with her spell
All it took, was just one look
one glance, and then she was gone.
She's a strange dark gypsy girl
Where did she go?
Into the night.
She's the strange dark gypsy girl
who left, without a trace
Now she's just a memory
I can't forget her face.
I keep searching for that gypsy girl
It's gonna take some time
Someday I'm gonna find her again
I wanna make her mine...
She's a strange dark gypsy girl
Where did she go?
Into the night.
