Hey, everyone:

I hope you are all safe and well. This is a first time collaboration with Donna Evans (Belladonna), who passed along the lyrics to a song she had composed, and I was happy to give them a go. I changed the order of a couple lines in the chorus to fit the melody/song structure I came up with, and then tweaked a line or two in the second verse . . . but beyond that I've stayed very true to Donna's original lyric. Special thanks to Donna for pitching in on the back up vocals. Hope it works well enough and that you enjoy the listen.

My best to you all,

Deej

Here’s the song:

SHE SEES THRU GYPSY EYES


Here are the lyrics:

Gazing into her crystal ball—
image clear, logic’s dull.
She reads tea leaves and palms
to find out what’s goin’ on.

Floating yellow flower rings
cross waters where spirits sing—
My baby’s got a following
that brings in these gold dollars.

She sees thru gypsy eyes,
and I swear that I’m blind
and I’m hypnotized.
She sees thru gypsy eyes.
She says we’re meant to be.
It’s our destiny—
the cards don’t lie.

Viewing visions so divine,
signs light up like sunshine.
I ask her if I’m dreamin’,
she says see’in is believin’.

I was raised on a proper path.
Have I been converted?
Well, she just laughed.
For us, life will just roll on past
with fortune on our side.

She sees thru gypsy eyes,
and I swear that I’m blind
and I’m hypnotized.
She sees thru gypsy eyes.
She says we’re meant to be.
It’s our destiny—
the cards don’t lie.

And she says now I know real living.
She says now all my doubt’s forgiven.

Floating yellow flower rings
cross waters where spirits sing—
My baby’s got a following
that brings in these gold dollars

She sees thru gypsy eyes,
and I swear that I’m blind
and I’m hypnotized.
She sees thru gypsy eyes.
She says we’re meant to be.
It’s our destiny—
the cards don’t lie.
