If I Was — текст песни (Midge Ure)

If I was a better man
Would fellow men take me to their hearts
If I was a stronger man
Carrying the weight of popular demand
Tell me would that alarm her
I`d never harm her at all

If I was a soldier
Captive arms I`d lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I`d sail to her

If I was a wiser man
Would other men reach out and touch me
If I was a kinder man
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease her
I want to please her again

If I was a painter
I`d paint a world that couldn`t taint her
If I was her leader
On food of love from above I would feed her
If I was a poet
All my love and burning words I would show it
If I was her lover
Her eyes in kisses I would cover

Come here my baby
Oh they can`t touch you now
I`ll keep you safe and warm
I`ll never leave you at all
Come here my baby
Oh they won`t touch you
Dishing up love for a hungry world
Tell me would that appease you
I want to please you again

If I was a soldier
Captive arms I`d lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I`d sail to her
If I was a painter
I`d paint a world that couldn`t taint her
If I was her leader
On food of love from above I would feed her
If I was a poet
All my love and burning words I would show it
