lyrics

GYPSY BARDIC TINKER PEOPLE
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

Gypsy bardic tinker people,
Singing all night in the church’s steeple-
They build a fire on the chapel lawn,
Dance until the crack of dawn,
When the mists are parted then you’ll find them gone-
Those gypsy bardic tinker people-

Some folk say they’re all demented,
But it seems to me that they’re quite contented-
They live their days from end to start,
To us they seem like worlds apart,
But have you looked deep into the heart-
Of the gypsy bardic tinker people-


SWIRL & TURN,
CRACKLE & BURN,
YOU'D BE SURPRISED AT WHAT YOU'D LEARN-
CRY & LAUGH,
TAKE & GIVE-
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU HAVE, BUT HOW YOU LIVE-
WITH THE GYPSY BARDIC TINKER PEOPLE-


With horse and cart and a family fire,
The spirits here couldn’t get much higher-
Of land and sky, they love it all,
Proud to stand, yet honour a fall,
'Cause living life is the highest call-
To the gypsy bardic tinker people-

They speak the truth for the ears that hear it,
We won’t believe, but we’re happy to fear it-
With secret ways and whispers low,
We’re all so glad to see them go,
But we miss the wonders that we’ll never know-
Of the gypsy bardic tinker people-

With morning prayers and midnight revels,
The town is thinking they all are devils-
These ancient ways are solid set,
We’d save their souls but we haven’t yet,
‘Cause they’re closer to heaven then we’ll ever get-
Those gypsy bardic tinker people-

2nd chorus

SWIRL & TURN, CRACKLE & BURN,
TO HONOUR LIFE IS WHAT YOU'D LEARN-
CRY & LAUGH, TAKE & GIVE-
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU HAVE, BUT HOW YOU LIVE-
WITH THE GYPSY BARDIC TINKER PEOPLE-
