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
|
<Interlude>
|
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
|
<Interlude>
|
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
|
<Interlude>
|
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
|
<Interlude>
|
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
|
