To Try for the Sun

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

And who's goin' 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 goin' to try for the sun

[Verse 2]

We huddled in a derelict buildin'

And when he thought I was asleep

He laid his poor coat round my shoulder

And shivered there beside me in a heap

[Chorus]

And who's goin' 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 goin' to try for the sun

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

And who's goin' 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 goin' to try for the sun

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 4]

Mirror, mirror, hangin' in the sky

Won't you look down for what's happenin' here below?

I stand here singin' to the flowers

So very few people really know

[Chorus]

And who's goin' 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 goin' to try for the sun

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

And who's goin' 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 goin' to try for the sun
