Katie Melua - If you were a sailboat lyrics

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.
