Intro: Hold that lantern up high, I could have gone anywhere. If by chance dawn don't make it home tonight, well thats alright with me. You would hold out your arms and we dance with enraptured embrace. What I thought was so strong was a love thats now gone so far away from me. Chorus And if I had been a gypsy back then, I couldn't read this gypsy deck of hearts. From where I stand now, in front of this crowd, I still can't read this gypsy deck of hearts. Were the lights too dim, were my eyes too blind, to read this gypsy deck of hearts . Was a heart too strong, that made our love go wrong, right from the Start. I thought that you were the one, back when my dreams were still young. The confessions we made, and the promises pledged, behind the old brickyard wall. In the beat of a heart where time kind of slides away. For every place that you roam, there's a heart to call home, but you can't seem to stay. And if I had been a gypsy back then, I couldn't read this gypsy deck of hearts. From where I stand now, in front of this crowd, I still can't read this gypsy deck of hearts. Oh no, I can't read this gypsy deck of hearts. I can't read this gypsy deck of hearts.
