lyrics

I looked around her
and I saw that she was laughing out loud
aloud to nothing at all
but this I said I was a gypsy king
and that was just the life
the life I never should have lead

in this reflection
I saw images that were not my own
and so I cried myself to sleep
and dreamt of thirty years ago
when you all were strange
but never so bold

and aye im just a rambler
a man, a boy - that I cant decide
but this is all so new to me
what did you say when you walked away
and said that I could live
but all the same you walked away

I have never felt so old
decrepit but romantic
this must be a dream
and yet im never so sure
what it was you said
when you said goodbye

so as I sing this song again
i'll only think of
what this could have been
if it wasn’t just
the same goddamn thing again

-1990
