The Divine Comedy - If... lyrics

rate me

If you were the road I'd go all the way If you were the night I'd sleep in the day If you were the day I'd cry in the night 'Cause you are the way The truth and the light If you were a tree I could put my arms around you And you could not complain If you were a tree I could carve my name into your side And you would not cry, 'Cos trees don't cry If you were a man I would still love you If you were a drink I'd drink my fill of you If you were attacked I would kill for you If your name was Jack I'd change mine to Jill for you If you were a horse I'd clean the crap out of your stable And never once complain If you were a horse I could ride you through the fields at dawn Through the day until the day was gone I could sing about you in my songs As we rode away into the setting sun If you were my little girl I would find it hard to let you go If you were my sister I would find it doubly so If you were a dog I'd feed you scraps from off the table Though my wife complains If you were my dog I am sure you'd like it better Then you'd be my loyal four legged friend You'd never have to think again And we could be together till the end
