Gypsy Faded - Joseph Arthur

I am ready and I’m letting go now

That is what I am doing

That’s what this turmoil has been all about

That and the rumors of who you’ve been screwing

I’m not burying my head in the sand

I say this with peace love and understanding

I’m glad you’re in some kinda peaceful place now

But darling you were definitely the last one of us standing

When you

Gypsy faded on us

I needed to say goodbye

But you

Gypsy faded on us

I guess there’s always a chance of us coming back together

But that seems unlikely in this kind of weather

I just never saw it coming so forgive me the shock

Of becoming a stranger walking down my own block

I’m getting over it though you are fading from my view

And soon I hope you will be gone as I have been gone for you

I do however want to say that I wish you the best

Past the anger of betrayal and the need to second guess

When you

Gypsy faded on us

I needed to say goodbye

But you

Gypsy faded on us

I don’t feel you anymore

We were holding phantom hands

I don’t feel you anymore

We were holding phantom hands

I don’t want stir this all back up

But leavin' in Vegas proved extra painful for me

It’s easier to deal with things like this when they’re clear

Whereas once I was blind, I can finally see

And like that old saying goes

When you let your bird fly

If she comes back to you

She’s really yours and free

But this time you didn’t come back

So I guess you weren’t mine

I still love you of course

But I let go of the need

When you

Gypsy faded on us

I needed to say goodbye

But you

Gypsy faded on us

When you

Gypsy faded on us

I needed to say goodbye

But you

Gypsy faded on us
