If I Were You Songtext

von Holy Holy

If I were you I'd buy a horse the colour of the rain.
If I were you I'd find a boat and sail it far away.
If I were you I'd build a house on the shores of a lake.
I'd spend my winters there, alone and warm and safe.

If I were you I'd be patient and I'd be wise.
I'd know why the winds change and how to sooth a child.
If I were you I'd be open and I'd be strong.
I'd know where the birds nest and when the storms would come.

If I were you I'd find a wife so honest and so sweet
I would keep nothing from her and she would trust in me
If I were you I'd raise a child with eye as true as snow
Live inside the fear each day, knowing that you would go.

If I were you I'd be patient and I'd be wise.
I'd know why the winds change and how to sooth a child.
If I were you I'd be open and I'd be strong.
I'd know where the birds nest and when the storms would come.

If I were you.
