My love grows deeper every day
And takes a little piece of me
My love grows deeper every day
And takes a little piece of me
My love grows deeper every day
Deep into the sea
But takes a little piece of me
A little piece of me
Oh, it's so beautiful out (it's so beautiful out)
And I can't see why we're not allowed to be
Up in the sky with the birds, counting the flowers
And oh, my powers have failed me again (oh-oh)
When I can't see beginning to end (oh-oh)
Though I try and test it again through the hours (oh-oh)
Wandering stars in the blue
Could not be born 'cause of you
Wandering stars in the blue (wandering stars in the blue)
Could not be born (could not be born) 'cause of you (because of you)
My love grows deeper every day
And takes a little piece of me
My love grows deeper every day
And takes a little piece of me
Deeper every day, deep into the sea
A little piece of me
A little piece of me
Oh, why can't I be green
As the grass beneath my feet?
As fresh as the dew
Hits the ground in the morning
And not yellow like bumblebees (oh-oh)
Please, take me off my knees, my knees (oh-oh)
I don't wanna be red forever (oh-oh)
Wandering storms in the blue
Could not be born 'cause of you (because of you)
Wandering storms in the blue (wandering stars in the blue)
Could not be born 'cause of you (ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
I've been, I've been looking
I've been looking at the moon
But I've been thinking of myself
I've got me under my own skin
I don't need nobody else
I'm looking at the moon
But I'm thinking of myself
I've got me under my own skin
I don't need nobody else
Wandering storms (wandering storms) in the blue (in the blue)
Could not be born (could not be born) 'cause of you (because of you)
Wandering storms (wandering storms) in the blue (in the blue)
Could not be born (could not be born) 'cause of you (because of you)
If I could have sunlight (I could have sunlight)
In the palm of your hand (in the palm of your hand)
I'd take the moonlight instead
(I'd take the moonlight instead, instead, instead)
If I could have sunlight (if could have sunlight)
In the palm of your hand (in the palm of your hand)
I'd take the moonlight instead (I'd take the moonlight instead)
