13 Crowes - Gypsy Queen Lyrics

I've seen the fire and I've seen the rain
Heard the ghosts move as I call out your name
Into a world long forgotten

I've seen them come and I've seen them go
Strung out on fresh blood, my wild Irish rose
She was only stolen

Do you remember me
Does my ghost still haunt your halls
My gypsy queen
Do you remember me at all

She opened the door and she climbed right in
I said Annan's 12 miles up the road
She said I've never been
After all there's only one life

Now my back is tired from the bricks I've laid, hands leather, pockets empty, debts left unpaid
But once I had a wild heart

I died last night the cold hand of fate
Seen heaven for a second
Head stuck in the bars at the gate
Saw her dancing at the jukebox
The devil came and he dragged me away
Said I'm sorry son there's no way you can stay
There's no forgiveness for the writers
