Holy Holy If I Were You song lyrics

If I were you I'd buy a horse the colour of the rain.

If I were you I'd find a boat and sail it far away.

If I were you I'd build a house on the shores of a lake.

I'd spend my winters there, alone and warm and safe.

If I were you I'd be patient and I'd be wise.

I'd know why the winds change and how to sooth a child.

If I were you I'd be open and I'd be strong.

I'd know where the birds nest and when the storms would come.

If I were you I'd find a wife so honest and so sweet

I would keep nothing from her and she would trust in me

If I were you I'd raise a child with eye as true as snow

Live inside the fear each day, knowing that you would go.

If I were you I'd be patient and I'd be wise.

I'd know why the winds change and how to sooth a child.

If I were you I'd be open and I'd be strong.

I'd know where the birds nest and when the storms would come.

If I were you.
