If You Were a Sailboat [*]

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 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 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 sailboat I would sail you to the shore If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore
