If I Were You

Katie Melua-If You Were A Sailboat

Written by Mike Batt

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.
