I Cant Own Her — текст песни (Xtc)

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 cant own her and I never will

No I cant own her and thats a bitter pill



Taken with rain

til the gutter shines like the swirling sky

Like the swirling sky



Ive got all morning, Ive got all year

Its down in my pocket with the daylight folded there

But I cant own her and I never will

No I cant own her and thats a bitter pill



Taken with rain

How Id wash her hair like the swirling sky

Like the swirling sky



And when I say I cant own her

I dont mean to buy her

Its 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 theres more chance of that coming true



But I cant own her and I never will

No I cant own her and thats a bitter pill



So I cant own her (of all the things youve got the thing you want the most is her)

And I never will (and shes the one thing that you just cant have)

No I cant own her (of all the things youve got the thing you want the most is her)

And thats a bitter pill (and shes the one thing that you just cant have)





Taken with rain

Which I swallow down with the swirling sky

With the swirling sky



But I cant own her

And I may as well wish for the moon in hand

No I cant own her

Yes theres more chance of that coming true
