I Can T Own Her lyrics

PLAY XTC I Can T Own Her video 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 wino`s 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
