If You Were A Sailboat

Katie Melua

1. 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,
   
2. 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,

R: 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


3. 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,

R: 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

4. 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,
   
5. 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,
   if you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
