Gypsy Skin

"Gypsy Skin"
Written and Performed by Jeanne Jolly, ASCAP, WITHJJ'SWINGSPUBLISHING

When the city gets too loud
and you’ve grown weary from chasing the crowd
When you let it wear you down
In a sea of uncertainty you could drown
Shed your gypsy skin and just stay
Let me be something real you can hold on to

When you lose sight of where to turn
Your vision clouded from bridges you’ve burned
And when you’re caught up in the shame, just runnin’ ‘round
Trying to be everywhere except here on the ground

Shed your gypsy skin and just stay
Let me be your sweet relief
Let me light up your darkest night
Let me be something real you can hold on to

You don’t have to be lonely to call me or show up by my door
It doesn’t matter how long it takes you
Just tell me you want it more

Shed your gypsy skin and just stay
Let me be your sweet relief
Let me light up your darkest night
Let me be something real you can hold on to
Hold on to
Hold on to
Hold on to
When I close my eyes
I can feel the fire
Burning hot in the night
Like matches and gasoline
We were like matches and gasoline

With that sweet twang on your tongue
You held me tight and said,
“Baby, we’re the lucky ones.”
Well I believe in the unseen
I give my soul to love and all that’s in between

CHORUS

Oh baby, do you think that maybe
With these memories coming in
Will we ever that way again
Like matches and gasoline

When I close my eyes
I can feel the fire
Burning hot in the night
Like matches and gasoline
We were like matches and gasoline
We were like matches and gasoline
