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 raindrop and 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 dropping 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.
