about

Just when I least expect it a new song comes, all at once from the universe to me to share with you. This time I was playing a small piece of music that I wanted to write a song called "gypsy soul" with. While I was playing the guitar, one of my best friends, Greg Richards began singing along, making up the first few verses and they fit so well I grabbed the paper, pen and iphone recorder and finished the song. Greg has always written poetry and he and I have been close as brothers for several years now so I am happy and honored to introduce him as the co-writer with me on this new demo. Those of you who truly know me will understand every piece of these lyrics. Those of you who think you know me...will b left to wonder :) I also make reference to one of my favorite quotes of all time from Bram Stoker: "

lyrics

Gypsy Soul – Words By: Carroll/Richards – Music By: Carroll

I’ve crawled on bloody knees over razor wire for you and me
My wounds are plain to see, but I don’t need you to carry me through this world;

I’ve got a gypsy soul my dear – for you it’s so unclear
Oh, I hope you will stay near as I face my fears … while we both are here.

I’ve drank from the lover’s cup it filled me up
I will not forget when we shared the wine, the blood, the bread, the sacrifice
Of our flesh…

With my gypsy soul, sincere, it’s hard for you to hear
So I’ll wait another year or longer if you fear this gypsy soul, my dear

This sea of wonders surrounds me with doubts and fears and such strange things
I dare not confess to my own soul…
God keep me near, if only for , the sake of those who need me

I’ve got a gypsy soul my dear – for you it’s so unclear
Oh, I hope you will stay near as I face my fears … while we both are here.
