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
