I walk alone tonight
with visions in my empty head
of the stars so bright
as they explode above our naked bed
nobody here can tell me I'm lost
on these avenues
I can't explain these things I do
but I think it's all because of you
I changed my name to hide
the failings of a great great man
but they called me out
for being a chameleon
now that I have laid out a shred of my soul
I got nothing to lose
I can't explain these things I do
but I think it's all because of you
Ooooo you know I love you
every way that I can
I'm just a gypsy boy
and a ladie's man
I'm no moth drawn to light
cause darkness is a better fit
as the house burns down
I see it as some kind of gift
we can start over every day
just paying our dues
I can't explain these things I see
but I think it's all because of you
Ooooo you know I love you
every way that I can
but I'm just a gypsy boy
and a ladie's man
I write these lines
stolen like a memory
from the stars last night
that reflected off the lovers sea
they can guide us through our direction haze
try to keep us true
But they can't explain these things I do
But I think it's all because of you
I can't explain these things I do
but I think it's all because of you
