What You Are Lyrics

Patty Griffin What You Are

all the ladies, on the lake they start to dance
its been a long time, dont you wish you had the chance
what do you wish you were?
do you wish you were the silence on the moon?
nobody knows but maybe you will be soon

i used to think the sidwalk was the way
always waiting for my lucky day
over and over every patch of gray
one day inside me i was lucky anyway...

what do you wish you were?
do you wish you were the light of every star?
nobody knows but, maybe thats just what you are

all night count all the singing stars
alright is where you want to know you are
what do you wish you were?
do you wish you were the light of every star?
nobody knows.. but maybe thats just what you are
nobody knows.. but maybe thats just what you are
nobody knows.. but maybe thats just what you are
