Karaoké Gypsy Suzanne Vega

You come from far away with pictures in your eyes

Of coffeeshops and mornin' streets in the blue and silent sunrise

But night is the cathedral where we recognized the sign

We strangers know each other now as part of the whole design

Oh hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep

Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat

Oh ho

You're the jester of this courtyard with a smile like a girl's

Distracted by the women with the dimples and the curls

By the pretty and the mischievous

By the timid and the blessed

By the blowin' skirts of ladies who promise to gather you to their breast

Oh hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep

Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat

Oh ho

You have hands of rain and water and that earrin' in your ear

The wisdom on your face denies the number of your years

With the fingers of the potter and the laughin' tale of the fool

The arranger of disorder with your strange and simple rules

Yeah now I've met me another spinner of strange and gauzy threads

With a long and slender body and a bump upon the head

Oh hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep

Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat

Oh ho oh oh

With a long and slender body and the sweetest softest hands

And we'll blow away forever soon and go on to different lands

And please do not ever look for me but with me you will stay

And you will hear yourself in song blowin' by one day

But now hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep

Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat

Ho oh oh oh oh

Ho oh oh ho oh oh

Oh woah oh ho oh ho oh oh oh oh
