If You Were a Sailboat Lyrics

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 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 a sailboat I would sail you to the shore,
If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
