Johnny Flynn - Gypsy Hymn lyrics
[Johnny Flynn - Gypsy Hymn lyrics]
The ferryman brought me with mind open
Dreaming we cut the depths with laughter
Stayed with my youth that God’s
Tooth cut when weaning now and ever after
The will of the void is
To shape and name forms
Our dance was never done then
I remember you well from before you were born
My chance was never won then
I burnt the sports pages as
I already knew the score
Put faith in the fire forever and evermore
Your colors of autumn
You're burnished with gold there
And standing in the rhythm
This circle of trees
And the full wish we told there
Truthful as a prism
I looked at the mystery and all she evoked
My patron saint stood near her
But the mystery walked, and the mystery spoke
My saint said, "Never fear her"
Now Mab is my queen oh, and Mab is my chief
Mab is my root now
And strong trunk, and branch to the leaf
The circle remains and still from it's past
Now waiting, now singing
Now flying half mast she is, and she’s whole
Oh, I'll love, love again
I’ll know my song well, each dying refrain
Each cadence
And twist well observed in it's harmony
Silence come clean
Pull stillness for our lady
Gypsy hymn sing me slow
And tenderly bear me on your west wind blow
Your gypsy hymn let me flow
And sing me again before you got to go
Sing me again before you got to go
Dreaming we cut the depths with laughter
Stayed with my youth that God’s
Tooth cut when weaning now and ever after
The will of the void is
To shape and name forms
Our dance was never done then
I remember you well from before you were born
My chance was never won then
I burnt the sports pages as
I already knew the score
Put faith in the fire forever and evermore
Your colors of autumn
You're burnished with gold there
And standing in the rhythm
This circle of trees
And the full wish we told there
Truthful as a prism
I looked at the mystery and all she evoked
My patron saint stood near her
But the mystery walked, and the mystery spoke
My saint said, "Never fear her"
Now Mab is my queen oh, and Mab is my chief
Mab is my root now
And strong trunk, and branch to the leaf
The circle remains and still from it's past
Now waiting, now singing
Now flying half mast she is, and she’s whole
Oh, I'll love, love again
I’ll know my song well, each dying refrain
Each cadence
And twist well observed in it's harmony
Silence come clean
Pull stillness for our lady
Gypsy hymn sing me slow
And tenderly bear me on your west wind blow
Your gypsy hymn let me flow
And sing me again before you got to go
Sing me again before you got to go
