Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
|
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
|
Knowing many, loving none,
|
Bearing sorrow havin' fun,
|
But back home he'll always run
|
To sweet Melissa... mmm...
|
|
Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
|
And no one knows the Gypsy's name
|
No one hears his lonely sighs,
|
There are no blankets where he lies.
|
In all his deepest dreams the Gypsy flies
|
with sweet Melissa... mmm...
|
|
Again the morning's come,
|
Again he's on the run,
|
Sunbeams shining through his hair,
|
Appearing not to have a care.
|
Well, pick up your gear and Gypsy roll on, roll on.
|
|
Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (Lord, Lord)
|
Will you hide the dead man's ghost,
|
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
|
or will his spirit float away?
|
But I know that he won't stay without Melissa.
|
Yes I know that he won't stay without Melissa.
