if you were a sailboat

Singer:katie melua

if you were a cowboy i would trail you

if you were a piece of wood i'd 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 i'd 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 was a telephone you'd ring me all day long

if 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

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 i'd 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
