If I Could |
If I could sing like the poets and kings of this world |
If I could rise like the wind or the tides of the sea |
I would sing you to sleep my love with sweet melody |
And let you dream away till the morning light returned again |
To take you away from me |
If I could speak with the tongues of the masters of old |
If I could tame all the fleeting perceptions I hold |
Would I stand in the marketplace before |
To be shouted down without any warning at all, to be stood by the wall |
And shot by the man in blue |
If I could run with the grace of a sun-colored stallion |
If I could fly like the great silver jets in the morning |
If I caused the wind to change with one wave of my hand |
And if I could play the final symphony and set it free |
Would it mean anything to you |
If I could stand like a rusty old man in his armor |
If I could ride the steed that he rode in his time |
I would turn his head away to the river |
And let him wander through the meadow grass, wild and free |
For everyone to see |
If I could sing like the poets and kings of this world |
If I could rise like the wind or the tides of the sea |
I would sing you to sleep my love with sweet melody |
And let you dream away till the morning light returned again |
To take you away from me |
