Road Of The Gypsy

Out on my own
Since I was a young, young boy
Gonna live and die
In the streets, I'd cry when I was alone

It's been twenty long years
The fire's still burning
The wax on the candle melts like tears
You know it don't come easy
The road of the gypsy

But I'm holdin' tight
'Cause I know this dream's gonna carry me home
It's been a long, hard fight
Many sleepless nights
For something to call my own

It's been twenty long years
And my heart is ragin'
For something to believe
In spite of the tears
You know it don't come easy

The road of the gypsy
The road of the gypsy
Yeah

You know the streets
Haven't made me an angry man
Oh, no
I've got to go on
And give it all I can
Yeah, yeah, yeah

It's been twenty long years
The fire's still burnin'
The wax on the candle, it melts like tears
You know it don't come easy
Hearts of stone
Are hearts that are carved up on the street
Blood stains the young man's hands
With the will to live for the right to be free
The road of the gypsy
Yeah
The road of the gypsy

Like an eagle, I fly
With this dream rushin' through my head
(The road of the gypsy)
On the streets that I ride
With a feelin' of pride
And a life I will never regret
(The road of the gypsy)

You know this dream's gonna carry me home
Down (down) down the road of the gypsy
(Road, road of the gypsy)
(The road of the gypsy)
