If I Were A Song - Lloyd Cole
What if I was just a song
Words on a page to sing a song
What if my essence was pure
Pure mathematics no more
Than a romance from a store
Would you still cry when I played
Would you still turn to me for the pain
If I were just a song
Could a song just a song break you down
Could a song make you want to go paint the whole town
Could your world turn around on a phrase
Could an interval really be more
Than the space between us
Would you still dance when I played
Would you still turn to me when the nights
Grow long If I were just a song
But of course I'm more than just a song
Baby I'm something to be a song
And wasn't it you all along
Wasn't I there just to be
Your beleaguered go between
There isn't a mountain too high
Not for me
There isn't a river too deep
Not for me
I'm more than just a song
Would you still cry when I played
Would you still turn to me for the pain
If I were just a song
