Jealous Of The Moon Lyrics - Why Should The Fire Die? - Nickel Creek

Tryin' on a brand new dress 

But you haven't worn the old one yet 

You've come too far 

To turn around now 

You've given up the good fight 

You're as strong as anyone 

You're back where you started from 

I see you're back where you started from 

Starin' down the stars, jealous of the moon 

You wish, you could fly 

Just bein' where you are, there's nothin' you can do 

If you're too scared to try 

Drag your pretty head around 

Swearin' you're gonna drown 

With a beautiful sigh 

An' a river of lies 

Starin' down the stars, jealous of the moon 

You wish, you could fly 

Just stayin' where you are, there's nothin' you can do 

If you're too scared to try 

Why don't you call me, I could save you 

Together we'll find a God, we can pray to 

That'll take you by the hand 

I hate to see a friend of mine 

Laughin' out loud 

When she's cryin' inside 

But you've got your pride 

Starin' down the stars, jealous of the moon 

You wish, you could fly 

But you're stayin' where you are, there's nothin' you can do 

If you're too scared to try 

You're starin' down the stars, stay where you are 

You're jealous of the moon but there's nothin' you can do 

If you're too scared to try, if you're too scared to try
