Lyrics What You Are - Patty Griffin

All the ladies on the lake
They start to dance
And it's been a long time
Don't 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 grey
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 that's 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 that's just what you are

Nobody knows, but maybe that's just what you are

(Nobody knows, but maybe that's just what you are)
