Townes Van Zandt Gypsy Friday lyrics

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
Throwin' secrets to the winds of Gypsy Friday

If you wanna call me, friend, then friend, you'd best begin
Throwin' secrets to the winds of Gypsy Friday

You can lay aside your bucketful of teardrops

But 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 feeling 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
