So I'm back, to the velvet underground

Back to the 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

And 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 faces freedom with a little fear

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 a memory is all that is left for you now

You see your gypsy

You see your gypsy



Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice

And it all comes down to you

"

And it all comes down to you



Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice

And it all comes down to you



I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes

I have always loved you


And it all comes down to you
