lyrics

If I was a fisherman lost on the sea
you'd be a compass
you'd be a light that i could see by
If you were the ocean i'd be the land
cover me up with water
I will fill with the sand in time
If I was a river I'd run deep and wide
and straight and true
If you were a river I would build a canoe

If you were the pen I'd be the word
If I was the paper
you'd be the hand that kept them pages turning
If I was a brush fire you'd be the wind
or maybe a gentle breeze
to fan the flames and keep them burning
If I was a river I'd run deep and wide
and straight and true
If you were a river I would build a canoe

And I'd just go driftin'
or like a tumbleweed tumblin'
put both of my feet in
probably have myself a swim
maybe do a little singin'
might play my mandolin
ride your waterfall violin
until we hit the sea again

If you were a blue sky I'd be a bird
If you were a line of poetry
I'd be the ears that hang on every word
If I was a singer you'd be the song
And you may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one
If I was a river I'd run deep and wide
and straight and true
If you were a river I would build a canoe

If you were a river I would build a canoe
