Select language to translate this lyric
The moon is slowly risin; Itâs really not suprising
After all sheâs there almost every night
Smilin on the lovers
Always shinin on the others & bathing in the sunâs reflected light
But later on sheâll fade away hidden by the break of day
That always comes too soon
Poor little thing, sheâs just a jealous moon
She plays above the water
Watchin sailors, tramps & daughters live their lives and slowly fade away
Night after night, year after year the ones she knows just 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, sheâs just a jealous moon
No one ever asks her how she got so high
Way up there forever in the morning sky
She watches through the season
Hopin without reason that someday
Someone will call her home
Life goes on without her
No one ever asks about her or lets her know that sheâs not alone
It breaks her heart that down below rivers run and flowers grow
But she canât feel them bloom
Poor little thing, sheâs just a jealous moon
The nights are getting colder & the stars are growing bolder as the paint their final light across the sky
Closer to the atmosphere
She prays for clouds to disappear so she can say goodnight and say good bye
She never really goes away
Just hidden by another day that always comes too soon
Poor little thing, sheâs just a jealous moon
Poor little thing, sheâs just a jealous moon
