I'LL TRY FOR THE SUN. We stood in the windy city The Gypsy boy and I We hung on the breeze in the midnight With raindrops and tears in our eyes Chorus: 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 to young For I'm going to try for the sun We huddled in a derelect building And when he thought I was asleep He laid his poor coat around my shoulders And shivered there beside me in a heap We sang and cracked the sky with laughter Our breath turned to mist in the cold Our years put together counted thirty But our eyes told the dawn that we were old Mirror, mirror hanging in the sky Won't you look down on what's happening below I stand here just singing to the flowers So very few people really know
