Lloyd Cole - If I Were A Song lyrics

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, 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 tall Mmmm, not for me There isn't a river too deep Not for me I'm more than just a song La, la, la... Would you still cry when I played? Would you still turn to me for the pain If I were just a song?
