To Try For The Sun - The Leaves

We stood in the windy city

The gypsy girl and I

We slept on the breeze in the midnight

With the rain droppin' tears in our eyes

And who is 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 she thought I was asleep

She laid her poor coat on my shoulder

And shivered there beside me in a heap

And who is 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 thirty

But our eyes told the dawn that we were old

And who is 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
