I wish I was - I wish I was a soldier I'd fight and die for you I wish I was - I wish I was your captain I'd guide you through life from my bridge I wish I was - I wish I was a poet Beautiful letters I could write I wish I was - I wish I was a sailor The stories I could tell No, but I'm - no I'm I'm just a fool for you But I feel - I feel love Love I never knew But if I was - if I was a soldier I'd be the biggest coward of all And if I was - if I was a captain I'd fall asleep on my watch And if I was - if I was a poet I'd probably not dare to show it And if I was - if I was a sailor I'd get drunk in every port
