Lyrics
I went to see a gypsy, she stayed deep up in the wood
I wanted to know my future, for her to tell me all she could
Her eyes rolled back, she looked inside her head
She said "I've seen your road boy, and here's what lies ahead"
And then she said, "Boy, you'll know a life of rejection
Conjection, injection, subjection at most every turn
And as you walk this earth you're gonna learn
That heaven's the only place where a fool never burns"
A night wind it started howling, Lord it chilled me to my bones
Her black eyes danced above the candlelight
I swear I saw a shadow walk alone
I said, "Miss Lady, can you tell me when does a boy become a man?"
When the question doesn't matter then you'll understand
And then she said, "Boy, you'll know a life of rejection
Conjection, injection, subjection at most every turn
And as you walk this earth you're gonna learn
Heaven's the only place where a fool never burns"
I went back to see the gypsy
Her house was boarded up and she was gone
A Carolina moon shown bright that night
And I realized that shadows don't walk alone
And then I heard her say, "Boy, you'll know a life of rejection
Conjection, injection, subjection at most every turn
And as you walk this earth you're gonna learn
That heaven's the only place where a fool never burns
Heaven's the only place where a fool never burns
Heaven's the only place"
