Tried to take it all away

Learn her freedom just inside a day

And find her soul

To find their fears allayed



Tried to make her love their own

They took her love they left her there

They gave her nothing back

That she would want to own



Gold and silver rings and stones

Dances slowly of the moon

No-one else can know

She stands alone



Sleeping dreams will reach for her

She cannot say the words they need

She knows she's alone

And she is free





Chorus:



Ocean gypsy of the moon

The sun has made a thousand nights

For you to hold

Ocean gypsy where are you

The shadows followed by the stars

Have turned to gold, turned to gold



Then she met a hollow soul

Filled him with her light

And was consoled she was the moon

And he, the sun was gold



Eyes were blinded with his light

The sun she gave

Reflected back the night

The moon was waning almost out of sight



Softly ocean gypsy calls

Silence holds the stars awhile

They smile sadly

For her where she falls



Just the time before the dawn

The sea is hushed

The ocean calls her

Day has taken her and now she's gone



Chorus



No-one noticed when she died

Ocean gypsy shackled to the tide

The ebbing waves were turning

Spreading wide



Something gone within her eyes

Her fingers lifeless stroke the sand

Her battered soul was lost

She was abandoned



Silken threads like wings still shine

Winds take pleasure still make patterns

In her lovely hair

So dark and fine



Stands on high beneath the seas

Cries no more

Her tears have dried

Oceans weep for her the ocean sighs



Chorus
