|
We stood in the windy city |
|
The gypsy boy and I |
|
We slept on the breeze in the midnight |
|
With the rain droppin' tears in our eyes |
|
And who's going to be the one |
|
To say it was no good what we done? |
|
I dare a man to say I'm too young |
|
For I'm going to try for the sun |
|
We huddled in a derelict building |
|
And when he thought I was asleep |
|
He lay his poor coat 'round my shoulder |
|
And shivered there beside me in a heap |
|
And who's going to be the one |
|
To say it was no good what we done? |
|
I dare a man to say I'm too young |
|
For I'm going to try for the sun |
|
We sang and cracked the sky with laughter |
|
Our breath turned to mist in the cold |
|
Our years put together count to thirty |
|
But our eyes told the dawn that we were old |
|
And who's going to be the one |
|
To say it was no good what we done? |
|
I dare a man to say I'm too young |
|
For I'm going to try for the sun |
|
Mirror, mirror, hanging in the sky |
|
Won't you look down what's happening here below? |
|
I stand here singing to the flowers |
|
So very few people really know |
|
And who's going to be the one |
|
To say it was no good what we done? |
|
I dare a man to say I'm too young |
|
For I'm going to try for the sun |
|
We stood in the windy city |
|
The gypsy boy and I |
|
We slept on the breeze in the midnight |
|
With the rain droppin' tears in our eyes |
|
And who's going to be the one |
|
To say it was no good what we done? |
|
I dare a man to say I'm too young |
|
For I'm going to try for the sun |
