Great song!


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

I once had an inspiration to write another verse for it; can't remember it all now, but something about "speeding thru a timeless void of space, last known survivor of a dying race..."

I'm certainly not the lyricist Justin Hayward & Co. are, so consider the source. Yeah, a great album from a truly great band!

Wonderful stuff. "Watching and Waiting" still gives me the shivers after 40 years.
