Gypsy Dancer

Gypsy Dancer was one of the first ones I wrote - self-explanatory I think...

The wind blows so silent
But I can only hear her
The heart beats everything deterrent
The world revolves around her

She dances around the fire
Her eyes glowing in the flames
Black shines her hair, so devour
My heart, I go insane

The desert floats around me
I see the sun in the horizon
It burns so hot, it burns within me
She floats away, but she’s within me

You’re like an image, not real
Your body I touch, yet I cannot feel
You burn my hand, yet you’re not here
This love around me, it is not real

Earth and Fire


I don’t know what to say
Could I just say I’m sorry?
I’m just not that kind
Or could I walk away
Not miss this life of mine?

Do I let your smile
Reach deep to my heart?
Do I let you love me
When the heart yearns inside?

For a fire to keep me alive
For a wind to take me away
To a world where passion takes over
And a life I can’t throw away

Can I let you feel
What you once knew was true?
When I know I feel
That my soul longs anew?

For a fire to keep me alive
For a wind to take me away
To a world where passion takes over
And a life I can’t throw away

What I want and what I need
Is like a mountain and the sea
Can I swim and not breathe?
Could I sore but not fall deep?

Like the grains of the sand
I seep through your fingers
I fly from your hand
Like a bird that lingers
Till the wind calls its name.
