INDIGO GIRLS - melissa lyrics

rate me

crossroads

seem to come and go

the gypsy flies from coast to coast

knowing many, loving none

bearing sorrow, having fun

but back home he'll always run

to sweet melissa

freight train

each car looks the same

all the same

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

again the morning's come

again he's on the run

sunbeams shining through his hair

appearing not to have a care

pick up your gear and gypsy roll on

roll on

crossroads

will you ever let him go

will you hide the dead man's ghost

will he lie beneath the clay

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
