Olde Ways - Lyrics
Peaceful nomads from a far away land
Borrowing the earth as they travelled around
Taking no more then what was needed
A people of natural magic and healing
An ancient race long misunderstood
The Romany Gypsy is of my blood
Telling tales of long lost dreams
I hear the voices of my ancestors scream
Keepers of nature we once roamed free,
We lived in woodlands on the road and hills
We sing and dance the mystery,
Keeping close our ancient legacy
We are all the world had never seen
and you may never see again
Poove, Bavol, Yog, Pani, Shon, Kam, Ravnos
