I Can't Own Her Songtext / Lyric

And I may as well wish for the moon in handI own this

river, I own this townAll of its climbers and its wino's

sliding downBut I can't own her and I never willNo,

I can't own her and that's a bitter pillTaken with

rainTill the gutter shines like the swirling skyLike

the swirling skyI've got all morning,

I've got all yearIt's down in my pocket with the daylight

folded thereBut I can't own her and I never willNo,

I can't own her and that's a bitter pillTaken with

rainHow I'd wash her hair like the swirling skyLike

the swirling skyAnd when I say I can't own herI don't

mean to buy her, it's nothing at all to do with moneyI

simply want her in my arms forever moreIs that an odd

request? Is that something so funny?

And I may as well wish for the moon in handYes,

there's more chance of that coming trueBut I can't

own her and I never willNo,

I can't own her and that's a bitter pillSo 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 rainWhich I swallow down with the swirling

skyWith the swirling skyBut I can't own herAnd I may

as well wish for the moon in handNo,

I can't own herYes, there's more chance of that coming true
