Lyrics

Gypsies and Unicorns

by Dave

1. When I was young, I read of a man

Who travelled the lanes in his old caravan

He set out to roam and he carried his home

Round on wheels, knew how it feels to be free

Chorus: So, close tight your eyes now and dream of the dancer

And the tune of the fiddler, and the flickering fire

For the truth in the morning when the dancing is over

Is just piles of scrap iron growing higher and higher

2. He knew where the otter swam down by the brook

Where the first violet bloomed in a green, sheltered nook

And he eavesdropped the birds in a tongue with no words

Twitters and howls, he knew the owls very well

Chorus: So, close tight your eyes now and dream of the dancer

And the tune of the fiddler, and the flickering fire

For the truth in the morning when the dancing is over

Is just piles of scrap iron growing higher and higher

3. Rosemary Lee , of the flashing black eyes

Danced for the company under the skies

And the joy in their faces transcended all places and time

Fears all sublimed on the wind

Chorus: So, close tight your eyes now and dream of the dancer

And the tune of the fiddler, and the flickering fire

For the truth in the morning when the dancing is over

Is just piles of scrap iron growing higher and higher

4. Dark Isaac, the half-breed, the son of the night

Would mix potions to bring to you joy and delight

Rich ciders and wines from his own secret vines he would brew

And very few knew his ways

Chorus: So, close tight your eyes now and dream of the dancer

And the tune of the fiddler, and the flickering fire

For the truth in the morning when the dancing is over

Is just piles of scrap iron growing higher and higher

5. His half-sister Anna, the beauty supreme

Would come, gliding soft, to your firelight dream

And you’d fondle her hair and her breasts firm and fair

And make love, while the full moon above told no tales

Chorus: So, close tight your eyes now and dream of the dancer

And the tune of the fiddler, and the flickering fire

For the truth in the morning when the dancing is over

Is just piles of scrap iron growing higher and higher

6. Cross her palm with pure silver, look deep in her eyes

Old Mother Miranda would tell you no lies

From a clairvoyant trance, she would tell at a glance

Your life’s tale, and if you’d fail in your dreams

Final Chorus: So, close tight your eyes now and dream of the dancer

And the tune of the fiddler, and the flickering fire

For the truth in the morning when the dancing is over

Is just piles of scrap iron growing higher and higher

Yes, the truth in the morning when the dancing is over

Is just piles of scrap iron growing higher and higher
