Gypsy Summer Lyrics - On My Honor

Spent a solid night 

Dodging sleep again 

A dirty garage littered with 

Smoke from pipes and pyramids of cans 

Scale one more roof 

For talks of friends estranged 

The heights that offer views 

Of times that earn our praise 

At times you have to dive 

Through sewage in this life 

That filthy creek where 

The purest parts reside 

At times you have to dive 

By filth you'll be baptized 

Oh, holy night 

Dive until the sunrise 

Eyes fixed on grey skies 

While we try to find our feet 

A downhill run in morning air 

Though we always swim upstream 

Asleep in the basement 

With dogs that live like me 

In the cold of the sounds we make 

In the warmth of loyalty 

At times you have to dive 

Through sewage in this life 

That filthy creek where 

The purest parts reside 

At times you have to dive 

By filth you'll be baptized 

Oh, holy night 

Dive until the sunrise 

A summer for gypsies 

Reviving books I try to read 

When my hands stop shaking 

In times when the daylight finally favors me 

A summer for gypsies 

Where I find my separate peace 

We left our clothes there 

In exchange for the things that we keep 

At times you have to dive 

Through sewage in this life 

That filthy creek where 

The purest parts reside 

At times you have to dive 

By filth you'll be baptized 

Oh, holy night 

Dive until the sunrise
