If You Were A Sailboat
October 2007
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 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 fate, But the chances we create, Always seem to ring more true. 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.
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 sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore.

Interesting information about the song
Melua said of the song:
What I liked about the song is the fact that a lot of love songs tend to deal with the fluffy nice side of love, but this one deals with how you get very selfish when you fall in love with someone, and you don’t want to share them with the world, you just want them all about yourself. What’s genius about Mike”s lyrics is that instead of saying that directly he uses these crazy strange metaphors, “if you were a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor” and quite bizarre stuff and I like that. Musically it sounds like a really nice smooth love song, but the message is pretty intense and quite dark

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, Keby si bol cowboy, chcela by som ta vliect. Keby si bol kuskom dreva, chcela by som ta pribit do zeme. Keby si bol plachetnicou, chcela by som s tebou doplavat k brehu.
