Gypsy Eyes
Jimi Hendrix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I realizes I've been hypnotized
I love you gypsy eyes
I love you gypsy eyes

All right
Gypsy

Way up in my tree I'm sitting by my fire
Wonderin' where in this world might you be
And known' all the time
Your still rollin' along the country side
Do you still think about me?

Oh my
Gypsy

Well I walked right on up to your rubble road side
The one that rambles on for a million miles
Yes I walked down this road searching for your love
And I found some too
But I found her I ain't gonna let go

I remember the first time I saw you
The tears in your eyes oh that girl's tryin' to say
Oh little girl you know I could love you
But first I must make my getaway
Two strange men fightin' to the death over me today
I'll try and meet you by the old highway
Hey!

Well I realize that I've been hypnotized
I love you gypsy eyes
I love you gypsy eyes
I love you gypsy eyes
I love you gypsy eyes

I've been searching so long
I think they made me lose the battle
Down against the road my worry knees
Off to the side I fall but I hear her sweet call
My gypsy eyes fine and I've been saved
Oh I've been saved
That's why I love you
I said I love you
Lord I love you

Well, I walked right on up to your rubble road side
I went to the side of the road where you usually pass by


The one that rambles on for a million miles
The road that stretches out infinitely long

I walked this road hoping to find love from you


And I found some too

But I found her I ain't gonna let go
But I won't let her go

The tears in your eyes look like they're tryin' to say
I thought I saw you cry, as if wanting to tell me something


Oh, little boy, you know I could love you
You know I'm capable of loving you


But first I must make my getaway
But first, I need to leave


Two strange men fightin' to the death over me today

I've been looking for you for so long


My feet have made me lose the battle
I've been walking so much that it's taken a toll on me


Down against the road my weary knees they got me
My feet have brought me to my knees


Off to the side I fall but I hear her sweet call
I stumbled and fell to the side, but I heard you calling me


My gypsy eyes is comin' and I've been saved
You're coming to save me with your free-spirited and unconventional way


Oh, I've been saved
I'm relieved and grateful that you're coming to save me


That's why I love you
That's why I'm in love with you


Said, I love you
I'm saying that I love you


Lord, I love you
I really love you
