That he wished to sell.
They had that look of rare and olden earrings
And he swore they'd bring a magic spell.
There's a story, the gypsy's know it's true,

An old love story that's known to very few
By the burning fire they will glow with every coal.
You will hear desire whisper low inside your soul.
So be my gypsy, make love your guiding light
And let this pair of golden earrings cast their spell tonight.
