Gypsy - Suzanne Vega

    You come from far away
    With pictures in your eyes
    Of coffeeshops and morning streets
    In the blue and silent sunrise
    But night is the cathedral
    Where we recognized the sign
    We strangers know each other now
    As part of the whole design

    Oh, hold me like a baby
    That will not fall asleep
    Curl me up inside you
    And let me hear you through the heat

    You are the jester of this courtyard
    With a smile like a girl's
    Distracted by the women
    With the dimples and the curls
    By the pretty and the mischievous
    By the timid and the blessed
    By the blowing skirts of ladies
    Who promise to gather you to their breast

    Oh, hold me like a baby...

    You have hands of raining water
    And that earring in your ear
    The wisdom on your face
    Denies the number of your years
    With the fingers of the potter
    And the laughing tale of the fool
    The arranger of disorder
    With your strange and simple rules
    Yes now I've met me another spinner
    Of strange and gauzy threads
    With a long and slender body
    And a bump upon the head

    Oh, hold me like a baby...

    With a long and slender body
    And the sweetest softest hands
    And we'll blow away forever soon
    And go on to different lands
    And please do not ever look for me
    But with me you will stay
    And you will hear yourself in song
    Blowing by one day

    Oh, hold me like a baby...
