From the album fairytale |
|
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 laid 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 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. |
