Gangs of Gypsies
Me Auld Flower

Fables and stories The auld ones told me When I was just a baby Their words washed o'er me No gods adore me A boy takes that as his own duty See all the angels in a dream, none of them to comfort me All the love I used to know, living in a town where I can't go The Pharaoh and Moses go twelve bareknuckle rounds for your mind I consorted freely With gangs of gypsies Poets, wastrels, condemned winos Who took nothing from me I gave it all willingly Before it even comes then it goes Speak the name and it's gone upon the wind See all the angels in a dream, none of them to come for me All the love I used to know, living in a town where I can't go The Pharaoh and Moses go twelve bareknuckle rounds for your mind A Reading from the Book of Exodus: Open your hand that you may find the river in the wilderness And forest in an emptiness Open that you may see the snows fall on the sands of the sun And both men drew long into labouring lungs And no one could tell the blood of one from the blood of the other Once it was spilled and forsaken This is the Word of the Ghost Speak the name and it's gone upon the wind See all the angels in a dream, none of them to come for me All the love I used to know, living in a town where I can't go The Pharaoh and Moses go twelve bareknuckle rounds for your mind Be done with waiting There's no soul for saving Sing no song of goodbye Life replayed in flashes Then long reels of sadness Ashes scattered long before I died Speak the name and it's gone upon the wind See all the angels in a dream, none of them to come for me All the love I used to know, living in a town where I can't go Through parted sea come riding gangs of gypsies The Pharaoh and Moses go twelve bareknuckle rounds for your mind
