An Old Fairground
TELL me fairground gypsyIs it there all plannedThe sorrow, joys and pleasures,Meetings, partings, places yet to seeAll there in my hand
I wonder can you tell me
What love there is for me
will it be forever or just a transient thing
passing like the rainbow after rain
As if it's never been?
Crystal ball or turn of card
Gypsy can you know how my life will be
will the span be brief or long,
and was the race well run
I wonder does the Fate line let you see?
Tell me fairground gypsy
Is it written in the stars
Between heaven, earth and sea
Destiny in my open palm
Inevitable, in unchanging lines
Telling you what is to be?
