Knew that I'd always find you out in the sun
Flying high
Fire and ice my gypsy child,
Over and over a sea of smiles

Passing streets where memory ends
In a sliver of moon
Through a forest of spires
Visions of earth, steam escapes from siren cities,
Squealing tyres

Motel falling apart at the seams
Freak show drugstore, crumbling dreams
Fireballs flashing across the sky
Calling you, reaching me

Mountains move, troubles melt
When I think of the things we felt
Love is still an open door
Like a wingless bird that cries no more

Knew that I'd always find you out in the sun
Flying high
Fire and ice my gypsy child,
Over and over a sea of smiles

City life, the screaming trees
In a high resolution snapshot flash
Jurassic towers,
Industrial strength washing lines recovering ash

A big freeze, a silent call
Snakes and ladders, the rise and fall
Changing fortunes, changing lanes
The road behind a broken chain

Another world pushing shadows back disappearing
Through the cracks
Looks ahead just keep moving on,
Find a way across the Rubicon

Knew that I'd always find you out in the sun
Flying high
Fire and ice my gypsy child,
Over and over a sea of smiles
