And where, where, where is my Gypsy wife tonightI've heard all the wild reports, they can't be rightBut whose head is this she's dancing with on the threshing floorWhose darkness deepens in her arms a little moreAnd where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?Ah the silver knives are flashing in the tired old cafeA ghost climbs on the table in a bridal negligeeShe says, "My body is the light, my body is the way"I raise my arm against it all and I catch the bride's bouquetAnd where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?Too early for the rainbow, too early for the doveThese are the final days, this is the darkness, this is the floodAnd there is no man or woman who can't be touchedBut you who come between them will be judgedAnd where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
