Cowboy Junkies - If You Were the Woman and I Was the Man lyrics

rate me

(Michael Timmins)

If you were the woman and I was the man

would I send you yellow roses

would I dare to kiss your hand?

In the morning would I caress you

as the wind caresses the sand,

if you were the woman and I was the man?

If I was the heart and you were the head

would you think me very foolish

if one day I decided to shed

these walls that surround me

just to see where these feelings led,

if I was the heart and you were the head?

If I was the woman and you were the man

would I laugh if you came to me

with your heart in your hand

and said, 'I offer you this freely

and will give you all that I can

because you are the woman

and I am the man?'
