IF

originally by Pink Floyd

If I were a swan, I'd be gone.
If I were a train, I'd be late.
And if I were a good man, I'd talk with you more often than I do.
If I were to sleep, I could dream.
If I were afraid, I could hide.
If I go insane, please don't put your wires in my brain.

If I were the moon, I'd be cool.
If I were a book, I would bend.
If I were a good man, I'd understand the spaces between friends.
If I were alone, I would cry.
And if I were with you, I'd be home and dry.
And if I go insane, will you still let me join in with the game?

If I were a swan, I'd be gone.
If I were a train, I'd be late again.
If I were a good man, I'd talk to you more often than I do.

by 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 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.

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.
