Lyrics for Gypsy Song

We were walking through the air / Studying the sounds / We were gliding through the streets / Gazing all around / But what we didn’t know / Is that our feet weren’t touching the ground / And when the wind blew our way / It took us to another town

We don’t know what it is / We just can’t stay still / ‘Cause when the wind blows our way / We want to rest our heads somewhere else

We were working in the day / But drifting off at night / And sometimes we’d awake and not believe the sight / Still in this place / We felt the pull so slight / And here we had to try to stay with all our might

We don’t know what it is / We just can’t stay still / ‘Cause when the wind blows our way / We want to rest our heads / No we don’t know what it is / We just can’t stay still / ‘Cause when the wind blows our way / We want to rest our heads somewhere else

Let Me Rise was recorded in Quito, Ecuador over the course of 6 months. Most of these songs were written while Vanessa was living in South America and feature the musical stylings of artists from several different countries. Driven by Vanessa's distinctive arrhythmic guitar picking and unique voice, this is an album that has stories to tell.
