From the recording The View From Here
'Gypsy Girl' is a song about emotional and psychological freedom. This song is dedicated to anyone who has ever struggled in an abusive relationship. My deepest love and respect to those who put their hand up. There are far too many of us. This song is about freedom of the body and soul, but also about that powerful inner strength and life-giving clarity that we can draw from in our moments of need.
Lyrics
Driving down this road I chase the sunset as I go
I find, it all so simple
Never stay too long, living light will keep you strong
Oh, take it from a Gypsy girl
I push the pedal down I feel the air rush in
I’m feeling alive again, I’m bound for benediction
I see the whole world in sun lit bliss, Don’t lose this for a kiss
Oh, take it from a Gypsy girl
Ooooh, Oooh
He said stay, I thought about it, I did
He said “you please me.” I said “I please myself.”
I thought of all the ways we shackle ourselves
Oh my, look at this, the sun is setting in a yellow bliss
and I am chasing beauty
Oh my, look at this, the sun is setting in a yellow bliss
and I am chasing beauty
Instrumental
Driving down this road I chase the sunset as I go
I find, it all so simple
Never stay too long, living light will keep you strong
Oh, take it from a Gypsy girl
Oh, take it from a Gypsy girl
Oh, take it from a Gypsy girl
Ooooh, Oooh
