Take me home 03:25
Midnight train calls me home, so many reasons to be gone Someone told a lie to tell the truth, so many reasons to say no But I wa gone and you stayed, you're alive, I'm just awake Oh, love, tel me where you're staying! Call my name, take my hand, take me home... Have a saying in my life, have me stay in one more night 'Cause I have no other place to go than you And I was lost, but you were found While you floated, I could drown Oh, my love, tell me ehy you're gone Call my name, take my hand, take me home

I got lost in my way, left alone, trapped, astray Could see no light deep inside the woods I hear a pace around me, yet I see no face The fire in my heart is out, as I feel the cold wind embrace My eyes black out, I reach my gun, as I hear the galloping Does it come to take my life, or the pale face I see will guide me home? As I stop in time, and truth follows me It unravels faces that I've never seen And the pale one leads me to the light, casts away the shadows, and brings me back to life...

Palomino 02:31
For what i worth, please take my hand Let's walk outside, as we once did And things that never were will be, and things that once were we'll keep way deep inside like treasured gold And speak the truth untold... you canme to me like a sudden dream that portrays life as we all wish Not dark, not cold, no pain, no lies Stairs that lead up to the sky And lights that shine upon your path, and bring you back at last So find your way through this life To find your way through this life With me

Broken bones 02:59
I could see, concealed in the light As my broken fingers hold me up right Oh baby, meet me in my dreams Where all you grasp is real, and better than you think It's why I'd rather close my eyes, and evade reality So today becomes tomorrow, when you'll be with me The walk has been so long, many miles put on the heels of boots that will not rest until this dream becomes fulfilled So baby shine a light, let your path lead you me, Let the wind blow you away, may I find you on its wings....

about

The Gypsy Vanner is fronted by Renato De Medeiros, former guitarist for the Brazilian alternative rock band Kung Fu Johnny, and was recorded at Cantilena Studios in Natal, Brazil, by former bandmate and collaborator Ian Medeiros.

"Things that once were" builds on elements of classic rock, traditional bluegrass and cowboy folklore to deliver raw, one-take recordings that tap into the collective consciousness of journeymaking and all the sweetness that springs from it. While the stories are fictional, the narrative is timeless. Enjoy the journey.
