Capercaillie - The Boy Who lyrics

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 its bullets and its 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 Its 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
