Suzanne Vega-Gypsy-AVO-Basel-2008 You come from far away With pictures in your eyes Of coffeeshops and morning streets In the blue and silent sunrise But night is the cathedral Where we recognized the sign We strangers know each other now As part of the whole design
Oh, hold me like a baby That will not fall asleep Curl me up inside you And let me hear you through the heat
You are the jester of this courtyard With a smile like a girl's Distracted by the women With the dimples and the curls By the pretty and the mischievous By the timid and the blessed By the blowing skirts of ladies Who promise to gather you to their breast
Oh, hold me like a baby...
You have hands of raining water And that earring in your ear The wisdom on your face Denies the number of your years With the fingers of the potter And the laughing tale of the fool The arranger of disorder With your strange and simple rules Yes now I've met me another spinner Of strange and gauzy threads With a long and slender body And a bump upon the head
Oh, hold me like a baby...
With a long and slender body And the sweetest softest hands And we'll blow away forever soon And go on to different lands And please do not ever look for me But with me you will stay And you will hear yourself in song Blowing by one day

I remembered this song because i just read that Suzanne comes to Israel to perform on July 2009!
She is amazing. It's not just the fact that she writes and composes most of her songs, it's the fact that she sings them so beautifully, and that you can actually understand what she sings, without having to read the lyrics!
amazing performance. i was actually looking for a live version of tom's diner and i came across this song instead. i'm glad i did. i've been listening to it ever since.
"Yes now I've found me another Spinner of Strange and Gauzy Threads" - got to trawl througha lot of Dead Wood before you are lucky enough to find other Human Beings that can relate to this. lol
