If I Could Songtext
von The Johnstons

If I could sing like the poets and kings of this world
If I could rise like the wind or the tides of the sea
I would sing you to sleep my love with sweet melody
And let you dream away ′til the morning light
Returned again to take you away from me


If I could speak with the tongues of the masters of old
If I could tame all the fleeting perceptions I hold
Would I stand in a marketplace before you
To be shouted down without any warning at all
To be stood by the wall and shot by the man in blue

If I could sing like the rusty old man in his arbour
If I could ride the steed that he rode in his time
I would turn his head away to the river
And let him wander through the meadow grass
Wild and free for everyone to see


If I could sing like the poets and kings of this world
If I could rise like the wind or the tides of the sea
I would sing you to sleep my love with sweet melody
And let you dream away 'til the morning light
Returned again to take you away from me
