"Capricorn" lyrics

"Capricorn"

Can't reach the moon now
Can't turn the tide
The world looked different
When God was on your side

Who builds the future?
Do they care why?
I know you're tired of trying
Listen clearly, you don't have to try

Capricorn
The year that you were born
Finished fast
And the next one wasn't yours
Too old for dying young
Too young to live alone
Sifting through centuries
For moments of your own

Alone and wounded
But in my prime
I called the hospital
They didn't have the time

I'd seen it coming
It's no surprise
I know you're tired of trying
Listen clearly
You don't have to try

Capricorn
The year that you were born
Finished fast
And the next one wasn't yours
Too old for dying young
Too young to live alone
Sifting through centuries
For moments of your own

A hundred dollars
On someone's dime
I looked for answers there
They weren't mine to find

Good days are coming
Not just to die
I know you're tired of trying
Listen, baby
You don't have to try

Capricorn
The year that you were born
Finished fast
And the next one wasn't yours
Too old for dying young
Too young to live alone
Sifting through centuries
For moments of your own

Capricorn
The year that you were born
Finished fast
And the next one wasn't yours
Too old for dying young
Too young to live alone
Sifting through centuries
For moments of your own
