Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves

Just yesterday morning
They let me know you were gone
Susan the plans they made
Put an end to you
I walked out this morning
And i wrote this song
I just can't remember
Who to send it to

Chorus:
I've seen fire and i've seen rain
I've seen sunny days
That i thought would never end
I've seen lonely times
When i could not find a friend
But i always thought that i'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me, jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And i won't make it any other way

Chorus

Been walking my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows
It'll turn you head around
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

Chorus

When you find out where you're goin'
Let me know
Cause i love you just enough
To let you go

While you're running free and clear
Please don't disappear
When you find out where you're goin'
Let me know

When you find out where you're goin'
Count me in
And i'll never put you down
For where you been
And i'll join you when you find
That peace within your mind
When you find out where you're goin'
Let me know

I'm letting go for one night
And i know we'll be all right
Though he may never come back
When he leaves my bed tonight

When you find out where you're goin'
Let me know
And i promise i won't say i told you so
And when the time comes that you say
You finally found your way
Then no matter where you are
Be sure i know
Then no matter where you are
Be sure i know

I know we can make it baby
If only we try
Let's hang on to love
And don't let it die
Even though

Chorus:
It's been touch and go
Off and on
Weak and strong
But then we didn't know
That with hope, we could cope
With all the ups and downs
So please stay around
I need you so

I'd give you a bed of roses
Right here in my arms
But you got to take
The sweet with the thorns
And i know

Chorus x 3 fade

They go off and leave me behind
They have so many words to find
I run to catch a glimpse of them
Just walking in the sun
Knowing they'll be mine again
When the evening has begun
And when i see them hand in hand
The boy who walks beside the man
I pray that i will always have the world
That i have found
The husband and the son
That i built my life around

Chorus:
He'll never know of that night long ago
He'll never know it's locked in my mind
No he'll never know
From the feelings i show
He'll never know
His son is only mine

Sometimes i lie awake at night
Watching darkest turn to light
Thinking back on all the things
I said to him today
Wondering if i might had a careless word to say
When the morning's almost here
He reaches out to draw me near
Silently i search his face for the love
I hope to see and once again
I'm sure that all his love belongs to me

Chorus

I was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good

Chorus:
Gypsies, tramps and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down

Picked up a boy just south of mobile
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal
I was sixteen, he was twenty-one
Rode with us to memphis
And papa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done

Chorus

I never had schoolin' but he taught me well
With his smooth southern style
Three months later, i'm a gal in trouble
And i haven't seen him for a while
I haven't seen him for a while

She was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
Her mama had to dance for the money they'd throw
Grandpa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good

Chorus
