Emmylou Harris
Black Gypsy
[Verse 1]
Broken bottles, broken songs
Broken people been in town too long
Where's everyone gone?
This city going to break your heart
Oh gypsy, please tell me
Where everyone's gone
Never had a second name
Never spoke of why we came
Fellowship and gloriousness
The loneliness of pain
Sitting in the rain
[Chorus]
Why is the soul of me?
Where is my heart?
Where is the part of me
That I would give to you?
If kindness were my style
Where is the soul of me?
Where is my heart?
In my own time
Better leave it behind
In a thousand bottles of wine
[Verse 2]
Oh, precious plans of standing strong
Why is life taking so long?
I would tell you everything
If I only had the words to explain
Don't know nothing but the rain
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Broken bottles, broken songs
Broken faces been in town too long
Where has everyone gone?
This city gonna break your heart
Oh gypsy, please tell me
Where everyone's gone
[Outro]
Oh gypsy, please tell me
Where everyone's gone[x3]
