Oscar Chevallier Dawson - If I Were You 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
