Usually life’s greatest gifts come wrapped in adversity

If I Were a Sailboat

Thanks to a certain PhD student, I am really digging Katie Melua and this song right now!

If you were a cowboy I would trail you
If you were a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor
If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore

If you were a river I would swim you
If you were a house I would live in you all my days
If you were a preacher I’d begin to change my ways

Sometimes I believe in faith
But the chances we create
Always seem to ring more truth
You took a chance on loving me
I took a chance on loving you

If I was in jail I know you’d spring me
If I was a telephone you’d ring me all day long
If I was in pain I know you’d sing me soothing songs

If I was hungry you would feed me
If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light
If I was a book I know you’d read me every night
