[Verse 1] She came from a Roman town Dust on her shoes, smoke in her hair Crossed the long hills alone With a prayer and a stare The roads were mean and blind But she kept her lantern high On Welsh ground she found her name Where the red cliffs cut the sky [Pre-Chorus] War drums under thunder Boots on stone, no turning back She heard the old hills answer As the dark came swinging back [Chorus] Young gypsy girl, stand tall Young gypsy girl, don’t fall The Romans played this land Like a game they could command But the dragons still fly on And the iron ranks are gone Young gypsy girl, live on On Welsh ground, you live on [Verse 2] Warriors in the valley Raised their spears to the rain She learned the names of fire And the cost of every chain The Romans laughed in summer Then the winter took their pride Stone by stone, the old blood Drove them out of the tide [Pre-Chorus] War drums under thunder Boots on stone, no turning back She heard the old hills answer As the dark came swinging back [Chorus] Young gypsy girl, stand tall Young gypsy girl, don’t fall The Romans played this land Like a game they could command But the dragons still fly on And the iron ranks are gone Young gypsy girl, live on On Welsh ground, you live on [Bridge] When the torches broke the night She did not bow her head She sang to the ravens Over every fallen red And the hills kept her breathing In the bend of every gale A girl from a Roman town Turned the mountain into tale [Final Chorus] Young gypsy girl, stand tall Young gypsy girl, don’t fall The Romans played this land Like a game they could command But the dragons still fly on And the iron ranks are gone Young gypsy girl, live on On Welsh ground, you live on [Outro] On Welsh ground, you live on On Welsh ground, you live on
