A song I write dedicated to Jimi Hendrix.
Story behind the song
Jimi Hendrix has had a big influence on me as a musician and a person, so I thought it neccesary.
Lyrics
V.1
Above the clouds, above the Earth,
Above the rainbows, above the birds,
The golden gypsy sits.
The golden gypsy shines so bright,
Like a star in the night,
And he leads the way.
A legend then, a legend now,
A legend always, Won't matter how
The world decides it will form
A purple mattress where he lays,
Where he's free to just dream away,
Of what has been and what will come.
Chorus-
The golden gypsy in the sky,
Still shining on as the days go by.
The festival of so many eyes,
And the golden gypsy in the sky.
V. 2-
I had a dream, on a night,
I traveled up into the sky,
And I found the gypsy there.
We danced around with the stars,
Got on top and rode 'em like cars,
And there we were just the gypsy and I.
He showed me a vision from his mind,
Where life is love and hate is bline,
Oh how I wish it were all fact.
But then I found myself in bed,
With just a memory in my head,
Of what I call my god.
(chorus)
V. 3
I sat alone dreaming of his sight,
I heard a noise and I looked outside,
And i found the gypsy there.
I looked at him, he looked at me,
He nodded his head and then suddenly,
He went back to the sky.
All the things that he has taught me,
What I realize that first I did not see,
I owe it all to him.
I visit him every so often,
I have not forgotten,
The golden gypsy.
(chorus) x2
