Tracy Grammer feat. Jim Henry - Gypsy Rose - aka "Gypsy Down" Lyrics

My love is like a gypsy rose
Wild is the only way he grows
Out where the sweet July wind blows
He blooms over yonder

His voice is like a mountain stream
Washes me clear, washes me clean
I walk along the banks serene
Where he will wander

There is no hill high as the moon, no river deeper than the sea
No shooting star, reckless in flight, burns in the night
Wild as the love he gave to me
Only the rain knows where he goes,
Thunder and me, ramblin' with my gypsy rose

And on the day when we were wed
Up to the altar he was led
Lay like a prisoner in my bed
Oh, how we shivered

So I built a house to keep him in
Guarded him from the sun and wind
But in the autumn he grew thin
In winter, he withered

There is no hill high as the moon, no river deeper than the sea
No shooting star, reckless in flight, burns in the night
Wild as the love he gave to me
Only the rain knows where he goes,
Thunder and me, ramblin' with my gypsy rose

My love was buried in the spring
I see his face in blossoming things
One night I thought I heard him sing
Down in the hollow

Now it's been thirty years and three
Every night he calls to me
And for as long as I shall be
Well I know I'll follow

And there is no hill high as the moon, no river deeper than the sea
No shooting star, reckless in flight, burns in the night
Wild as the love he gave to me
Only the rain knows where he goes,
Thunder and me, ramblin' with my gypsy rose
