| 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 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. | |
| 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 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. |
