| Baptistas (Dawn Sinclair/Juri Rosenfeld) 1.Verse: They Wandered like two nomads in the Lowlands She called him Michael Baptista for a while He always bowed and tipped his cap politely But only she would trust his roguish Smile 2.Verse She gathered heather and gave it to the rich folk And every one put Silver in her hand She wore with pride the gypsy name-Baptista And no one dared to disrespect her man CHORUS : So closely closely comes a gypsy woman to her man Closer closer to her lover's eyes Her arms will hold him tight, her passion burns so bright She wouldn't see the truth in his disguise So closely closely comes a faithless lover, in the night Closer, closer to his lady's eyes His arms may hold her tight, his passions may burn bright But moonlight won't reveal his web of lies 3.Verse Gypsies holds Their true name like a secret they must Keep She never knew until one fateful day His heart was black as tar ,stole Silver from her jar Tipped his cap and coldly walked away 4.Verse. Now all her heather she gathers in the Highlands And poor folk pay in Copper for her Song But she still wears with pride the name Baptista For like her kinfolk,shes righted all the wrongs Chorus#2 So closely closely comes a faithless lover, in the night Closer, closer to his lady's eyes His arms may hold her tight, his passions may burn bright But moonlight won't reveal his web of lies 5.Verse: When darkness came,she thrust a dagger thru his heart Staring closely in his cheatin eyes No longer will she thrust in more than wanderlust A gypsy girl will learn that,if shes Wise Gypsies hold their true name like a secret they must keep The also hold a marker til its paid Baptistas claim to fame,the promise in Their name A heart of gold inside a soul of jade. | |
