Kaye Ballard - Time, You Old Gypsy Man lyrics

Time, you old gypsy man Thief on the wing Drugged me with rhapsody Tricked me with spring Fiddled me off my feet Danced me on air Sprinkled my daydreams with gold dust And silvered my hair Silvered my hair, you rogue And crinkled my eyes Whistled the bird of youth Out of my skies Time you old vagabond Riddle me this - What did you do with forever and ever That sealed every kiss ? You packed up your tambourines Stilled your guitars Slipped off into the night Turned off the stars Stripped me of song and spring Robbed me of rhyme Left in your carnival caravan But you old gypsy man Thanks for a glorious time !
