Ocean Gypsy Lyrics - Scheherazade And Other Stories - Renaissance

Tried to take it all away 

Learn her freedom just inside a day 

And find her soul 

To find their fears allayed 

Tried 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 of the moon 

No one else can know 

She stands alone 

Sleeping dreams will reach for her 

She cannot say the words they need 

She knows she's alone 

And she is free 

[Chorus:] 

Ocean gypsy of the moon 

The sun has made a thousand nights 

For you to hold 

Ocean gypsy, where are you 

The 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 

[Chorus] 

Noone noticed when she died 

Ocean gypsy shackled to the tide 

The ebbing waves were turning 

Spreading wide 

Something gone within her eyes 

Her fingers, lifeless, stroke 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 

[Chorus]
