Gypsy Angel (single version) by Jordan Seal

I kick my sheets to the foot of the bed
feels better to freeze than to sleep in sweat
the sky is blank, it’s a new moon
the space between stars reminds me of you
// you see all the things I don’t
// through smooth skin to broken bones
// you say all the things I won’t
// and the words hurt worse than sticks and stones
// I can’t admit you’re gone

your words hover over my head
like vultures perched on the ceiling fan
and I pray for Somnus to bring me sand
and for my dreams to be photographs

// you see all the things I don’t
// through smooth skin to broken bones
// you say all the things I won’t
// and the words hurt worse than sticks and stones
// I can’t admit you’re gone

and in the half-light before I wake
I can hear your voice and see your face
and I curse the sun smiling through the shade
and I shut my eyes and I call your name
I don’t wanna cry another day
but maybe one more flood will wash you away
’til then I stare at a spreading stain
at a gypsy angel I can’t erase…
… and I may never replace
