I sneaked out to watch a gypsy from afar
I could not take my eyes from her
Unobserved I stood beyond the Lilac Tree
So that she could not see me
The Gypsy danced around a fire
The flames danced too and fanned out higher
Her hair flowed wildly twirled and twisted
Her feet were bare but not blistered
I could not take my eyes from her
A Gypsy girl with auburn hair
Her expression was that of feeling free
I stayed behind the Lilac tree
Will she continue her graceful dance
Or turn my gaze into a trance
I had heard that she could tell
Fortunes from her wishing well
She was pure and mesmerizing
with songs that she did sing
The fire was wild still full of flame
I wish that I could know her name
I could not take my eyes from her
A Gypsy girl with auburn hair
She saw me as I moved away
And beckoned me to come and stay
I smiled and wondered what could occur
If I obliged and sat with her
She offered Me a Place to sit
Around the fire she had lit
She whispered to me and showed her cards
For Tarot reading was her art
Her Mind somehow did wander off
She dealt a card and held aloft
I could not take my eyes from her
A Gypsy girl with auburn hair
A Glow came from her chestnut eyes
As within the ember the fire dies
From the ash that blew away
Came a Steed" A dappled grey"
I jumped up quick and took my leave
And Homeward bound I ran with ease
I had the most magical night
The gypsy and I under moonlight
I could not take my eyes from her
A Gypsy girl with auburn hair
I may return someday soon
Under the light of the Magical Moon
And ask of her what of my fate?
Wish and hope its not to late
To tell her how I truly feel
A feeling I once tried to conceal.
I could not take my eyes from her
A Gypsy girl with auburn hair
