Leonard Cohen - The Gypsy’s Wife lyrics
[Leonard Cohen - The Gypsy’s Wife lyrics]
And where, where
Where is my gypsy wife tonight?
I've heard all the wild reports
They can't be right
But whose head is this she's dancing
With on the threshing floor?
Whose darkness deepens in her
Arms a little more?
And where, where is my gypsy wife tonight?
Where, where is my gypsy wife tonight?
Ah, the silver knives are flashing
In that tired old cafe
A ghost climbs on the table
In a bridal negligee
She says, "My body is the light
My body is the way"
I raise my arm against it all
And I catch the bride's bouquet
And where, where is my gypsy wife tonight?
Where, where is my gypsy wife tonight?
Too early for the rainbow
Too early for the dove
These are the final days
This is the darkness, this is the flood
And there is no man or woman
Can't be touched
But you who come between them will be judged
And where, where is my gypsy wife tonight?
Where, where is my gypsy wife tonight?
Where is my gypsy wife tonight?
I've heard all the wild reports
They can't be right
But whose head is this she's dancing
With on the threshing floor?
Whose darkness deepens in her
Arms a little more?
And where, where is my gypsy wife tonight?
Where, where is my gypsy wife tonight?
Ah, the silver knives are flashing
In that tired old cafe
A ghost climbs on the table
In a bridal negligee
She says, "My body is the light
My body is the way"
I raise my arm against it all
And I catch the bride's bouquet
And where, where is my gypsy wife tonight?
Where, where is my gypsy wife tonight?
Too early for the rainbow
Too early for the dove
These are the final days
This is the darkness, this is the flood
And there is no man or woman
Can't be touched
But you who come between them will be judged
And where, where is my gypsy wife tonight?
Where, where is my gypsy wife tonight?
