Barbara Dickson - If I'd Stayed Around lyrics

Every road I stand upon Every new place that I find Loving someone, remembering more Always something takes my time What would have happened if I'd stayed around Would I have been with you? What would have happened if I'd stayed around Would I have been with you? The sun sets on singers on the sands out of sight Walking their weary ways back home My head is not heavy but my eyes and arms are full One thought's lingering to roam What would have happened if I'd stayed around Would I have been with you? What would have happened if I'd stayed around Would I have been with you? Girls in their forties and girls in their teens Girls with their husbands far from home Some with their hair down and some with their eyes closed All with their ribbons well undone

What would have happened if I'd stayed around Would I have been with you? What would have happened if I'd stayed around Would I have been with you? Man by a roadside and in a factory Drivers on wagons going north Friends in a public bar with the dartboard as their guard Never turn to ask me what I'm worth What would have happened if I'd stayed around Would I have been with you? What would have happened if I'd stayed around Would I have been with you? Buying a present for a newborn child Drowning in whiskey and gin Watching a girl child cry to my face With her mother asking where I've been What would have happened if I'd stayed around Would I have been with you? What would have happened if I'd stayed around Would I have been with you?
