Gypsy
Fleetwood Mac · Mirage
Back to floor that I love
To a room with some lace and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy that I was, to the gypsy that I was
And it all comes down to you
Well you know that it does, well
Lightning strikes maybe once maybe twice
Oh, and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
To the gypsy
That remains
She faces freedom
With a little fear
Well I have no fear
I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love
She is dancing away from you now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And her memory is all that she left for you now
You see your gypsy
You see your gypsy
Lightning stikes
Maybe once maybe twice
And it all comes down to you
Ooooo oh, well it all comes down to you
Lightning strikes
Maybe once maybe twice
Oh
I still see your bright eye, bright eyes
And I've always loved you
And it all comes down to you
It all comes down to you
About Gypsy
"Fleetwood Mac's 'Gypsy' serves as a haunting centerpiece on the 1982 album *Mirage*, blending the band's signature rock sound with lush orchestral arrangements. Written by Christine McVie, the track explores themes of wandering and lost identity, characteristic of McVie's lyrical depth during this period. The recording features the group's signature interplay, with Lindsey Buckingham's driving guitar and Stevie Nicks' ethereal vocals creating a dynamic tension that defines the album's atmospheric quality. Released in the early 1980s, the song reflects the band's evolution from hard rock to a more polished, pop-infused style while maintaining their emotional core. It stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit of the group, capturing a specific moment in their discography that resonates with listeners seeking both musical sophistication and lyrical introspection.
