If You Were a Bird

[Chorus]
If you were a bird I think I'd like your song
If you were a light I'd always leave you on
If you were a watch I'd love to watch the time
If you were mine

[Verse 1]
Swore I'd never like the mornin'
'Til you woke me up one day
And I swore black and blue promises had no value
And now I sleep wrapped up in the words you say

[Chorus]
And if you were a bird I think I'd like your song
If you were a light I'd always leave you on
If you were a watch I'd love to watch the time
If you werе mine

[Verse 2]
Yes, I hear mysеlf, sir, I do
I'm a walking, talking hypocrite, it's true
But I've heard farmers swear the soil would never be the same
And take it all back with the second drop of rain
Hmm, second drop of rain
Hmm-hmm

[Bridge]
"Mine" is a funny word if you think it through
It's buying your first home, labelling your shoes
And no one really owns a bird if you think it through
But I know I've struggled with you
You-ooh, you-ooh, you-ooh
You-ooh, you-ooh, you-ooh

[Chorus]
Yes, if you were a bird I think I'd like your song
And if you were a light I'd always turn you on
If you were a watch I'd love to watch the time
If you were mine
If you were a bird
