Jealous Moon Lyrics - Lovers And Leavers - Hayes Carll

The moon is slowly rising 

It's really not surprising 

After all, she's there most every night 

Smiling on the lovers 

Always shining on the others 

And bathing in the sun's reflected light 

But later on she's fade away 

Hidden by the break of day 

That always comes too soon 

Poor little thing 

She's just a jealous moon 

She plays above the water 

Watching sailors, tramps and daughters 

Live their lives and slowly fade away 

Night afternight, year after year 

Once she knows she'll disappear 

Into a world she never gets to stay 

But she would give most anything 

To open up her heart and sing 

But no one hears her tune 

Poor little thing 

She's just a jealous moon 

No one ask her how she got so high 

Way up there forever in the lonely sky 

She watches through the seasons 

Hoping without reason 

That someday someone will call her home 

But life goes on without her 

No one ever ask about her 

Or lets her know that she's not alone 

It breaks her heart that down below 

Rivers run, flowers grow 

But she can't feel them bloom 

Poor little thing 

She's just a jealous moon 

The nights are getting colder 

Stars are growing bolder 

As they paint their final light across the sky 

But closer to the atmosphere 

She prays for clouds to disappear 

So she could say goodnight and say goodbye 

She never really goes away 

Just hidden by another day 

That always comes too soon 

Poor little thing 

She's just a jealous moon 

Poor little thing 

She's just a jealous moon
