This song was inspired by my sister and the painful geographical distance between her and some of those she loves most.

lyrics
oh lady, gypsy woman, won’t you heed
the siren song of the open road?
everything you love waits on the horizon
be the setting sun and bring on the night
wild spirit, singing free, come dance with me,
i know the sunset will take you away
so today, while i have you here, let’s play
i love you, and tonight i’ll sleep alone
under the cover of darkness, move on
feet as strong as paws as fleet as wings
unshackle your ankles and cast your chains away
there’s nothing binding you to the ground
wild spirit, singing free, come dance with me,
i know the sunset will take you away
so today, while i have you here, let’s play
i love you, and tonight i’ll sleep alone
in your eyes, ruddy skies, in your hair, stars
blood and black scarves flying in the wind
your shadow is the dusk, your song the owls’ wings
your way the only one, leading you on
wild spirit, singing free, come dance with me,
i know the sunset will take you away
so today, while i have you here, let’s play
i love you, and tonight i’ll sleep alone
come the sunrise, your love will awaken
and witness the brilliance in your smile,
embrace you, hold you, until the twilight calls
and pulls you on the road to the next
wild spirit, singing free, come dance with me,
i know the sunset will take you away
so today, while i have you here, let’s play
i love you, and tonight i’ll sleep alone
red heart with so much passion and fire
can never pause, can never rest caged
spread your dancing smoke and cover all the world
all your loves beneath the same burning sky
