I Can't Own Her
And I may as well wish for the moon in hand...
I own this river --
I own this town --
All of its climbers and its winos sliding down.
But I can't own her and I never will.
No, I can't own her and that's a bitter pill.
Taken with rain,
'Til the gutter shines like the swirling sky,
Like the swirling sky.
I've got all morning --
I've got all year --
It's down in my pocket with the daylight folded there.
But I can't own her and I never will.
No, I can't own her and that's a bitter pill.
Taken with rain,
How I'd wash her hair like the swirling sky,
Like the swirling sky.
And when I say I can't own her,
I don't mean to buy her.
It's nothing at all to do with money.
I simply want her in my arms forever more.
Is that an odd request?
Is that something so funny?
And I may as well wish for the moon in hand.
Yes, there's more chance of that coming true.
But I can't own her and I never will.
No, I can't own her and that's a bitter pill.
So, I can't own her
(Of all the things you've got the thing you want
the most is her)
And I never will .
(And she's the one thing that you just can't
have.)
No, I can't own her
(Of all the things you've got the thing you want
the most is her)
And that's a bitter pill.
(And she's the one thing that you just can't
have.)
Taken with rain,
Which I swallow down with the swirling sky,
With the swirling sky.
But I can't own her.
And I may as well wish for the moon in hand...
No, I can't own her.
Yes, there's more chance of that coming true.
