The Boy Who - Capercaillie
Consider waking here in the
Heart of all the troubles
Where blood runs like wine
In the rhythm of this city
Man he knows no pity
Just live and work and die
There's the boy who sells
His dreams to buy a little time
He's the boy who sells his
Pearl ragged dreams
In a land that breaks your
Heart with it's bullets and it's guns
In a land that breaks your
Pearl ragged dreams
Oh these they are my people
And this is all I know
The longer this goes on my friend
The stronger I will grow
Oh these they are my people
And this is all I know
The longer this goes on my friend
The stronger I will grow
A raven circles high in a tapestry of blue
Swirling 'round and 'round
It's eyes glint like diamonds as
If it knows the reasons
Of something I should know
And I would sell my dreams
Just to buy a little time
Searching for the refuge of unknown
'Cause this place would hold you
Down like a fever in your veins
And you would sell your pearl ragged dreams
Oh these they are my people
And this is all I know
The longer this goes on my friend
The stronger I will grow
Oh these they are my people
And this is all I know
The longer this goes on my friend
The stronger I will grow
