Townes Van Zandt
Gypsy Friday
If a dream's enough to ease your hungry sorrows
And a song's enough to blow your tears away
And all you need's a rhyme
To help you pass your time
Well, meet me down the line on gypsy Friday
If all you need's a rhyme
To help you pass your time
Meet me down the line on gypsy Friday

If your mind's alive and free and flyin' easy
Then I'd like to take you with me if I may
But listen to me, friend
You'd better best begin
Throwing secrets to the winds of gypsy Friday
If you want to call me friend
Then, friend, you'd best begin
Throwing secrets to the winds of gypsy Friday

You can lay aside your bucket full of teardrops
Believe me, friend, it ain't a game I play
When you can give your soul
And come in from the cold
Well, there's stories to be told of gypsy Friday
When you can give your soul
And come in from the cold
Well, there's stories to be told of gypsy Friday
So if you're feelin' scared and just a little lonesome
You can dry your eyes and put your fears away
And when all the tears are gone
And you wanna come along
Well, I'll sing for you a song of gypsy Friday
When all the tears are gone
And you wanna come along
Well, I'll sing for you a song of gypsy Friday
