If you were the road   I'd go all the way   If you were the night   I'd sleep in the day   If you were the day   I'd cry in the night   'Cause you are the way   The truth and the light   If you were a tree   I could put my arms around you   And you could not complain   If you were a tree   I could carve my name into your side   And you would not cry,   'Cos trees don't cry      If you were a man   I would still love you   If you were a drink   I'd drink my fill of you   If you were attacked   I would kill for you   If your name was Jack   I'd change mine to Jill for you   If you were a horse   I'd clean the crap out of your stable   And never once complain   If you were a horse   I could ride you through the fields at dawn   Through the day until the day was gone   I could sing about you in my songs   As we rode away into the setting sun      If you were my little girl   I would find it hard to let you go   If you were my sister   I would find it doubly so   If you were a dog   I'd feed you scraps from off the table   Though my wife complains   If you were my dog   I am sure you'd like it better   Then you'd be my loyal four legged friend   You'd never have to think again   And we could be together till the end
