Na haar “Nine Million Bicycles”-succes is Katie Melua een wereldster geworden. En dik verdiend ook vind ik zelf. Haar prachtige stem bekoort menige muziekliefhebber. En het is dan ook nog een mooie verschijning ook…
Ze heeft intussen heel wat pareltjes op haar discografie, maar dit liedje vind ik persoonlijk één van de mooiste, schitterende tekst ook…
Ik wil dit opdragen aan iedereen die een schipper nodig heeft om zijn/haar leven in de juiste richting te varen…
If you were a sailboat
If you’re a cowboy I would trail you,
If you’re a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor.
If you’re a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
If you’re a river I would swim you,
If you’re a house I would live in you all my days.
If you’re 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 was in pain I know you’d sing me soothing songs.
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 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’re a cowboy I would trail you,
If you’re a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor.
If you’re a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.
If you’re a sailboat I would sail you to the shore
