If you were the road

I'd go all the way

If you were the night

I'd sleep in the day

If you were the day

I'd cry in the night

'Cause you are the way

The truth and the light

If you were a tree

I could put my arms around you

And you could not complain

If you were a tree

I could carve my name into your side

And you would not cry,

'Cos trees don't cry


If you were a man

I would still love you

If you were a drink

I'd drink my fill of you

If you were attacked

I would kill for you

If your name was Jack

I'd change mine to Jill for you

If you were a horse

I'd clean the crap out of your stable

And never once complain

If you were a horse

I could ride you through the fields at dawn

Through the day until the day was gone

I could sing about you in my songs

As we rode away into the setting sun


If you were my little girl

I would find it hard to let you go

If you were my sister

I would find it doubly so

If you were a dog

I'd feed you scraps from off the table

Though my wife complains

If you were my dog

I am sure you'd like it better

Then you'd be my loyal four legged friend

You'd never have to think again

And we could be together till the end
