Melissa Lyrics - Indigo Girls

Crossroads seem to come and go 

The gypsy flies from coast to coast 

Knowing many, loving none 

Bearing sorrow, having fun 

But back home he'll always run 

To sweet Melissa. 

Freight train, each car looks the same - all the same 

No one knows the gypsy's name 

No one hears his lonely sighs 

There are no blankets where he lies 

In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies 

With sweet Melissa. 

Again the morning's come

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Again he's on the run 

Sunbeams shining through his hair 

Appearing not to have a care 

Pick up your gear, and, gypsy, roll on, roll on 

Crossroads, will you ever let him go? 

Will you hide the dead man's ghost? 

Will he lie beneath the clay? 

Will his spirit float away? 

But I know that he won't stay 

Without Melissa 

Yes, I know that he won't stay 

Without Melissa
