THE GYPSY
The gypsy lady told me
On that dark and fateful night
That one day you would leave me
And it turned out she was right.
She took my palm quite roughly
As she told me my dark past.
She was gazing into the crystal ball
But all I saw was glass.
She said Iād know the darkness,
That close cousin to despair,
When Iād wake up to discover
The bed cold and you not there.
The gypsy lady told me
On that dark and fateful night
That one day you would leave me
And it turned out she was right.
For much is gained and much is lost
In a life lived on a bet.
Brief was our time together
Just like the gypsy said.
Intended as a song
