NICKEL CREEK LYRICS - Jealous Of The Moon

"Jealous Of The Moon"



Tryin' on a brand new dress

But you haven't worn the old one yet

You've come too far

To turn around now



You've given up the good fight

You're as strong as anyone

You're back where you started from

I see you're back where you started from



Starin' down the stars

Jealous of the moon

You wish you could fly

Just being where you are

There's nothin' you can do

If you're too scared to try



Drag your pretty head around

Swearin' you're gonna drown

With a beautiful sigh

And a river of lies



Starin' down the stars

Jealous of the moon

You wish you could fly

Just stayin' where you are

There's nothin' you can do

If you're too scared to try



Why don't you call me, I could save you

Together we'll find a God we can pray to

That'll take you by the hand



I hate to see a friend of mine

Laughing out loud

When she's crying inside

But you've got your pride



Starin' down the stars

Jealous of the moon

You wish you could fly

But you're stayin' where you are

There's nothin' you can do

If you're too scared to try



You're starin' down the stars

Stay where you are

You're jealous of the moon

But there's nothing you can do

If you're too scared to try
