Jealous Moon

[Verse 1] The moon is slowly rising It's really not surprising After all, she's there most every night Smiling on the lovers Always shining on the others And bathing in the sun's reflected light [Chorus 1] But later on she's fade away Hidden by the break of day That always comes too soon Poor little thing She's just a jealous moon [Verse 2] She plays above the water Watching sailors, tramps and daughters Live their lives and slowly fade away Night afternight, year after year Once she knows she'll disappear Into a world she never gets to stay [Chorus 2] But she would give most anything To open up her heart and sing But no one hears her tune Poor little thing She's just a jealous moon [Bridge] No one ask her how she got so high Way up there forever in the lonely sky [Verse 3] She watches through the seasons Hoping without reason That someday someone will call her home But life goes on without her No one ever ask about her Or lets her know that she's not alone [Chorus 3] It breaks her heart that down below Rivers run, flowers grow But she can't feel them bloom Poor little thing She's just a jealous moon [Verse 4] The nights are getting colder Stars are growing bolder As they paint their final light across the sky But closer to the atmosphere She prays for clouds to disappear So she could say goodnight and say goodbye [Chorus 4] She never really goes away Just hidden by another day That always comes too soon Poor little thing She's just a jealous moon Poor little thing She's just a jealous moon
