Gypsy (Of A Strange And Distant Time)-The Moody Blues

The song "Gypsy (Of A Strange And Distant Time)" from the album To Our Children's Children's Children. Amazing song.

Lyrics:

A gypsy of a strange and distant time
Travelling in panic all direction blind
Aching for the warmth of a burning sun
Freezing in the emptiness of where he'd come from
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Left without a hope of coming home

Speeding through a shadow of a million years
Darkness is the only sound to reach his ears
Frightening him with the visions of eternity
Screaming for a future that can never be
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Left without a hope of coming home

A gypsy of a strange and distant time
Travelling in panic all direction blind
Aching for the warmth of a burning sun
Freezing in the emptiness of where he'd come from
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Left without a hope of coming home

Left without a hope of coming home
Left without a hope of coming home.

Wow! There where bands at one time that could actually write good songs, and play their instruments just as well. Imagine, that.

[WDLawless]

Think of it as an acid trip without the acid. This is without a doubt one of Justin Hayward's best works. Headphones will definitely enhance the experience.

[Greysword1]

@999klondike Yes there were. The ramp up started in the late 50s rose to unblievable heights in the 60s right through to the 70s.; By the mid 80s the mindless boom booms tried, with no talent, to take control. You are right...there was a time of talent, music, & message. This may be where we go forward by going back......

If this isnt about the Doctor, It sure fits.

[AiedailWest]

Are you SURE it's not about the Doctor?

Went to the concert in Melbourne last Wednesday more to honour them than to be blown away. They more than exceeded my lowered expectations and the flautist was flawless as was the guitar work of Hayawrd. They were up to the mark and age has not wearied them. Really enjoyed it. Teared up during this song, it was played very well, but what else do you expect from the band that is the only band that can give Pink Floyd a run for all time excellence?

[KhazemiDuIkana]

I owe this song something for existing.

[1kellymccartney]

i used to listen to the moodies when i was depressed & it changed my outlook!

[LolasTubular]

I was a troubled, abused 14-year old when I first fell in love with this album, and especially this song. That was 39 years ago. In hindsight, I'm certain these blokes saved my life. I feel so blessed, to have recognized this brilliance at such a young age, and thoroughly embraced the concepts of love, peace, and higher consciousness, which sustain me to this day. xo

MOODY BLUES have a magic voice ..all their songs are wonderful.

I CAN LISTEN TO THEM all day and wanted more.....

Justin Hayward you are a wonderful

[1ancienttraveler]

The finest rockn roll band
