If I was

If I was a sailor, I would sail to you
​You would be my North star, upon the ocean blue
When stormy seas beset me, you would be my calm
And guide me to the harbour, keep me safe from harm.

If I was a tinker, not a penny to my name
​I know that you'd still love me, wouldn't falter or complain
​Hand in hand we'd travel, sunshine warm upon my face
The gentle wind upon my back, living on God's grace

Oh, if I was
Oh, if I was

If I was a tailor, I'd sew a coat of dreams
Cut from the finest silken cloth, no needlework or seams
And you'd wrap that coat about me, a fairytale cocoon
Woven to each other by the silver stranded moon 

If I was a soldier, you'd shield me from the curse
Of bloody memories in my mind, and vain, heroic verse
When battle guns would wake me, and bitter tears I'd weep
You'd heal my troubled spirit, and whisper me to sleep

Oh, if I was
Oh, if I was

But as I am a mother, a sister and a wife
A husband and a father, me myself, and I
In all my inconsistencies, whomever I may be
Tinker, tailor, solider, sailor
You're the one for me

Oh, if I was
Oh, if I was
