lyrics

Can I have just a little piece of this perfect starry night
Can I have just a little slice of moon to keep me feeling bright
Cause some things you just can not hold but the stars of silver and the moon of gold will do fine
Some things you just can not own and I know that boy will never be mine..

Well, I can let the salty taste of waves linger on my tongue
And I can sift these tiny grains of sand between my fingers and my thumb
But some things you just can not hold so the stars of silver and the moon of gold will do fine
Some things you just can not own and I know that boy will never be mine..

You can mine your precious stones up from deep in the earth
You can melt your precious metals down and then gamble on their worth
But some things you just can not hold but the stars of silver and the moon of gold will do fine
Some things you just can not own and I know that boy will never be mine..

He dances in the moonlight, he moves just like the sea
His eyes are like the desert, I can feel them drinking me
I thought he would feed me, but he's left me wanting more
Now I'm drifting aimless, it's too dark to find the shore

So can I have just a little piece of this perfect starry night
Can I have just a little slice of moon to keep me feeling bright
Cause some things you just can not hold but the stars of silver and the moon of gold will do fine
Some things you just can not own and I know that boy will never be mine..
