If I were the sky I'd hang dark above you
And rain on above you until the day I die
And if I were the morning
You wouldn't feel me warming you for the rest of your life
And if I were a mountain I would be so steep and rugged
I'd be the one that you could never climb
And if I were a river, I'd be a mighty river
And roll you right out of my mind
If I were the wind you wouldn't feel me touching you
Gently lie my fingers on your skin
And if I were the darkness, I'd be the deepest darkness
So you could never find your way again
And if I were a mountain I would be so steep and rugged
I'd be the one that you could never climb
And if I were a river, I'd be a mighty river
And roll you right out of my mind
And if I were a mountain I would be so steep and rugged
I'd be the one that you could never climb
And if I were a river, I'd be a mighty river
And roll you right out of my mind
You know I'd roll you right out of my mind
