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
