Where Are You Living?

Where are you living?

under the stars

in my fathers heart

in my mothers dreams

On the strings of my fiddle

in the glow of the candle

in the soul of my dog

in the breast of my lover

Do you make a living?

being a gypsy

with dark eyes piercing

startling minds

and soothing misery

On the strings of my fiddle

in the glow of the dancer

in the soul of my father

in the breast of my mother
