The Gypsy Wife
Leonard Cohen
And where where where is my Gypsy wife tonight I’ve heard all the wild reports they can’t be right But whose head is this she’s dancing with on the threshing floor Whose darkness deepens in her arms a little more And where where is my Gypsy wife tonight Where where is my Gypsy wife tonight Ah the silver knives are flashing in the tired old cafe A ghost climbs on the table in a bridal negligee She says "My body is the light my body is the way" I raise my arm against it all and I catch the bride’s bouquet And where where is my Gypsy wife tonight Where where is my Gypsy wife tonight Too early for the rainbow too early for the dove These are the final days this is the darkness this is the flood And there is no man or woman who can’t be touched But you who come between them will be judged And where where is my Gypsy wife tonight Where where is my Gypsy wife tonight
