If I was...

If I was sailor I would sail you home to me.

And if I was a soldier I would march to war for you.

I'd face every bullet and cannonball that flew.

Oh if I was a soldier I would wage a war for you.

And if I was a jailer I would lock you away.

Then I'd have the key to see you each and every day.

Oh if I was a jailer I would still have you today.

And if I was a rich man I'd buy you flowers every day.

But I am a poor man so I'll pick them on the way.

Oh if I was a rich man I would pay to make you to stay.

And if I had an aeroplane then I'd fly you away.

Maybe we go to Rome or Paris for the day.

I've wasted so much time.

Writing songs and playing on my guitar.

I've wasted so much love.

Oh I wish I'd never learnt to play a note.

And if I was a writer I would write the book on you.

I'd tell them all the stories of the things we used to do.

Oh if I was a writer I would write the book on you.

I've wasted so much time.

Writing songs and playing on my guitar.

I've wasted so much love.

Oh I wish I'd never learnt to play a note.
