Terence Trent D'arby - If I Were lyrics

If I were your lover now I wouldn't leave a stone unturned I would just watch my bridges burn As you lead me down the highway If I were your lover now I wouldn't have to hold my pride I would just let my spirit ride As I lead you down the highway Soldier boys vaingloriously Bleed for your captain's story Tombstones catalogue the young dead Like paperback books gone unread If I were your lover now I wouldn't leave your heart alone I would just make a house and home From your whispers and your sweet moan If I were your lover now I wouldn't have to cross your mind We could just live on what we find In the moonlight and the sunshine Soldier boys vaingloriously Bleed for your captain's story Tombstones catalogue the young dead Like paperback books gone unread If I were your lover now I wouldn't leave a stone unturned I would just watch my bridges burn As you lead me down the highway If I were your lover now You wouldn't have to cross your mind We could just live on what we find In the moonlight and the sunshine
