You say you want to be a gypsy 'cos there's wanderlust in your soul but someone or something always holds you back You say that doors are closed to you but you never really try to get through. So how can you make it along that freedom track? When what you call Fate is only Fear renamed... and you take it out on others when there's only you to blame! But every time that you're with me, you always act the same... you're like a caged bird trying out his wings.... CHORUS: But you're so laid back and you're so held back and you seem afraid to let anything come through... Until you find that inner freedom you'll be a gypsy without a road... and 'til the light of that truth comes shining through, I know all I can do is just go on loving you.... You say you want to be a poet and I know you've a lot to say. So how come the words seem to fail you every time? When all your memories and your feelings are just crying for release... why try to drown their voices down in wine? Oh you'll forget them tonight - but tomorrow they'll return, like an old, unanswered letter that a dying fire can't burn... It'll just mock you from the ashes 'til the lesson you have learned That there's no ending to the poem that is you...... CHORUS: But you're so laid back and you're so held back and you seem afraid to let anything come through... Until you find that inner freedom you'll be a poet without a rhyme... and 'til the light of that truth comes shining through, I know all I can do is just go on loving you.... You say you want to be a believer but the world keeps letting you down but remember these words - to thine own self be true. 'Cos if you look deep down inside yourself and you're not at peace with what you find, What can you expect the world to make of you? Oh I know it's nice and cosy, hiding in your shell, But the gypsy and the poet they are locked in there as well and someone I can touch at last may be there - who can tell? Does it help to know that I still believe in you? CHORUS: Although you're so laid back and you're so held back and you seem afraid to let anybody through... Until you find that inner freedom you're going to need a helping hand... and as the light of that truth has come shining through, I know all I will do is just go on loving you.... |
