Gypsy Deck of Hearts Lyrics

DeVille

Hold that lantern up high,
I could have gone anywhere.
If by chance dawn don't make it home tonight,
Well that's all right with me.
You would hold out your arms
And we dance with enraptured enbrace.
What I thought was so strong
Was a love that's now gone so far away from me.

And if I had been a gypsy back then,
I couldn't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
From where I stand now, in front of this crowd,
I still can't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
Were the lights too dim,
Were my eyes too blind,
To read this gypsy deck of hearts.
Was a heart too strong,
That made our love go wrong,
Right from the start.
I thought that you were the one,
Back when my dreams were still young.
The confessions we made, and the promisses pledged,
Behind the old brickyard wall.
In the beat of a heart
Where time kind of slides away.
For every place that you roam,
There's a heart to call home,
But you can't seem to stay.
And if I had been a gypsy back then,
I couldn't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
From where I stand now, in front of this crowd,
I still can't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
Oh no, I can't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
I can't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
