Gypsy Forest lyrics

(ACOUSTIC GUITAR INTRO)



the dolphins live in the open sea



and the gypsies live in the forest



while the owls and the crows and the sure foot does



still live like those before us



(MANDOLIN DITTY)







and the oak and the pine and the sycamore shines



and the day spins round like a feather



and the sawmill whines and the bluebird dines



and the song goes on forever



(HARP DITTY)



(OBOE SOLO)







now the old folk tell of an ancient bell



somewhere sunk in the meadow



but the shepherd there with the snow white hair



just sings in the evening shadows







and no one knows where the clear creek goes



when the moonlight fades in the forest



but the peacock screams and the gypsy dreams



of a time gone by before us



(OBOE SOLO)







round and a round and a round and a round



round and a round and a round



round and a round and a round and a round



round and a round and a round...
