[Verse 1: Trey Anastasio]
"Take me to another place", she said
"Take me to another time
Run with me across the oceans
Float me on a silver cloud"
[Chorus: Trey Anastasio with Alison Krauss]
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would
And I'd take you now
[Verse 2: Trey Anastasio, Alison Krauss, Both]
"Stay with me 'til time turns over
I wanna feel my feet leave the ground
Take me where the whispering breezes
Can lift me up and spin me around"
[Chorus: Trey Anastasio with Alison Krauss]
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would
And I'd take you now
[Bridge: Trey Anastasio with Alison Krauss]
I hear you laughing as we go (Take you now)
I'm flipping backwards through the doors and through the windows (Take you now)
I'm melting into nothing
[Chorus: Trey Anastasio with Alison Krauss]
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would
And I'd take you now
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would
And I'd take you now
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro: Trey Anastasio, Alison Krauss]
If I could I would! (If I could I would!) But I don't know how
If I could I would! (If I could I would!) But I don't know how
If I could I would! (If I could I would!)
But I don't know how
