If I Were
The sky is feeling mighty grey today
It looks like it don't know what to say
Maybe it's sorry you've gone
Maybe now it knows it's wrong
And it should have kissed you with rain on your cheeks
The thunder hasn't roared in three weeks
If I were the sky, I'd comfort you with pillows, pillows of white
If I were the sky, I'd comfort you with pillows, pillows of white
The water's feeling mighty cold tonight
It looks scared under the stark moonlight
Maybe if you kept it company
You could warm this frightened sea
And warm waves would wrap you in their tender peaks
The tide hasn't come in for three weeks
If I were the sea, I'd carry you far beyond this shore
If I were the sea, I'd carry you far beyond this shore
You know I'm looking mighty sad right now
Alone and asking myself, How
Maybe if I changed a single word
Or if I hadn't used my anger
I'd be with you and I wouldn't be so weak
I haven't heard from you in three weeks
If I were the sky, I'd comfort you with pillows, pillows of white
If I were the sea, I'd carry you far beyond this shore
If I were any thing but me, I'd be with you, until the end of time
If I were anything but me, I'd be with you, until the end of time
It looks like it don't know what to say
Maybe it's sorry you've gone
Maybe now it knows it's wrong
And it should have kissed you with rain on your cheeks
The thunder hasn't roared in three weeks
If I were the sky, I'd comfort you with pillows, pillows of white
If I were the sky, I'd comfort you with pillows, pillows of white
The water's feeling mighty cold tonight
It looks scared under the stark moonlight
Maybe if you kept it company
You could warm this frightened sea
And warm waves would wrap you in their tender peaks
The tide hasn't come in for three weeks
If I were the sea, I'd carry you far beyond this shore
If I were the sea, I'd carry you far beyond this shore
You know I'm looking mighty sad right now
Alone and asking myself, How
Maybe if I changed a single word
Or if I hadn't used my anger
I'd be with you and I wouldn't be so weak
I haven't heard from you in three weeks
If I were the sky, I'd comfort you with pillows, pillows of white
If I were the sea, I'd carry you far beyond this shore
If I were any thing but me, I'd be with you, until the end of time
If I were anything but me, I'd be with you, until the end of time
