Gypsy Queen

I've seen the fire and I've seen the rain Heard the ghosts move as I call out your name Into a world long forgotten I've seen them come and I've seen them go Strung out on fresh blood, my wild Irish rose She was only stolen Do you remember me Does my ghost still haunt your halls My gypsy queen Do you remember me at all She opened the door and she climbed right in I said Annan's 12 miles up the road She said I've never been After all there's only one life Now my back is tired from the bricks I've laid, hands leather, pockets empty, debts left unpaid But once I had a wild heart I died last night the cold hand of fate Seen heaven for a second Head stuck in the bars at the gate Saw her dancing at the jukebox The devil came and he dragged me away Said I'm sorry son there's no way you can stay There's no forgiveness for the writers --- Gypsy Queen - 13 Crowes
