Lyrics

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

CHORUS:

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

CHORUS

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

CHORUS
