Come, Gypsy was completed late 2009, though the song existed without lyrics for more than a year before that.
lyrics
Come, Gypsy
come gypsy won't you steal away with me;
we'll leave this goddamn day
and all we'll hear is the hobo's lullaby.
and walking through the winter rain
when all the monkeys are insane
we'll sing their fears and things to calm ourselves.
it's just we don't have to stay;
there's nothing either way
to discover or love so we'll wander off.
and don't be afraid:
our fates are sealed in rain
and molecules infinity ah ah.
I'll tell you twice and once again
this world is worth every bit of pain
and if you catch yourself unhappy, then
I'll let you catch that boxcar home
if you don't mind traveling alone
and if you think you've any home at all.
it's just we don't have to stay;
there's nothing either way
to discover or love so we'll wander off.
and don't be afraid:
our fates are sealed in rain
and molecules infinity ah ah.
