It's seems like years have passed in the last few days
Since the Gypsy Queen chose a man for her strays
He stole her heart and she gave him a crown
But when he tried to fly she just tied him down

He's the man behind the woman, he's the Gypsy King
Should be thinking of escaping, taking off that ring
He's the Gypsy King

He walks tall and free in the pale moonlight
Just a pawn to be played in the dead of the night

He's the man behind the woman, he's the Gypsy King
Should be thinking of escaping, taking off that ring
If he'd seen what he had coming he wouldn't have succumbed
To the thoughts of laud and honour as the Gypsy King

SOLO

He's the man behind the woman, he's the Gypsy King
Should be thinking of escaping, taking off that ring
If he'd seen what he had coming he wouldn't have succumbed
To the thoughts of laud and honour as the Gypsy King

It seems like years have passed in the last few days
Since the Gypsy Queen chose me to lead her strays
I see clearly now as down starts to glow
The time has come when I must go
