the road is a lover

i met a man

traveling down the road

he looked me in the eye

and he gave me a ring

and he gave me a rose

and he told me some gypsy lies

the road is a lover

you never recover

not now or any time soon

my head starts to spin

when i think where i've been

playin' twin to an old fiddle tune

oh

as the wind chases after the moon

through the kindness

shown me that day

i gave him this melody

and we sang in duet

`neath the stars in the sky

and the shadows of dancing trees
