"Gypsy Faded" lyrics - JOSEPH ARTHUR

I'm ready and I'm letting go now
That is what I am doing
And that's what this turmoil has been about
That and the rumors of who you've been screwing

I'm not burying my head in the sand
I say this with peace, love and understanding
I'm glad you're at some kind of peaceful place now
But darling your were definitely the last one of us standing

[Chorus:]
When you gypsy faded on us
I needed to say goodbye
But you gypsy faded on us

I guess there's always a chance of us coming back together
But that seems unlikely in this kind of weather
I just never saw it coming so forgive me the shock
Of becoming a stranger walking down my own block

I'm getting over it though
You are fading from my view
And soon I hope you will be gone
As I have been gone for you
I do however want to say that I wish you the best
Past the anger of betrayal and the need to second guess

[Chorus:]
When you gypsy faded on us
I needed to say goodbye
But you gypsy faded on us
Bye, bye

[Bridge:]
And I don't feel you any more, oh
We were holding phantom hands
And I don't feel you any more, oh
We were holding phantom hands

I don't want to stir this all back up
But leavin' in Vegas proved extra painful for me
It's easier to deal with things like this when they are clear
Whereas once I was blind, I can finally see
And like that old saying goes when you let your bird fly
She comes back to you if she is really yours and free
Well this time you didn't come back so I guess you weren't mine
I still love you of course but I let go of the need

[Chorus:]
When you gypsy faded on us
I needed to say goodbye
But you gypsy faded on us
Bye, bye

[Chorus:]
When you gypsy faded on us
I needed to say goodbye
But you gypsy faded on us
Bye, bye
