If You Were a Sailboat Lyrics

Katie Melua If you were a sailboat.
Capo IV
If you were a cowboy I would trail you,
if you were a piece of wood Id nail you to the floor,
if you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore,
if you were a river I would swim you,
if you were a house I would live in you all my days,
if you were a preacher Id begin to change my ways,
sometimes I believe in fate
but the chances we create,
always seem to ring more true,
you took a chance on loving me,
I took a chance on loving you
if I was in jail I know you'd spring me,
if I were a telephone you'd ring me all day long,
if I was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs,
sometimes I believe in fate
but the chances we create,
always seem to ring more true,
you took a chance on loving me,
I took a chance on loving you
INTERMEZZO
if I was hungry you would feed me,
if I was in darkness you would lead me to the light,
if I was a book I know you'd read me every night,
If you were a cowboy I would trail you,
if you were a piece of wood Id nail you to the floor,
if you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore,
if you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore,
if you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
