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.  [Refrain :] 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.  [Refrain] We sang and cracked the sky with l(aug)hter Our breath turned to mist in the cold. Our years put together count to thirty But our eyes told the dawn we were old.  [Refrain] 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.  [Refrain] 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.  [Refrain]
