if I were a lookout
if you wanted a second
I'd stand sentry at post
I would halt I would beckon
if I were an acrobat
if you trusted me so
I would shoulder your rise
stay steady below
if I were a featherbed
if you feared soon to fall
I would soften the jar jolt
and shock of it all
if I were a buoy
if you needed to float
I would be the safe mooring
till appeared the rowboat
if I were a seamstress
if you asked me dear friend
I would piece two to one
stitch sew us extend
if I were a house
if you felt your heart home
I would mark as sold close the gate
dig the soil plant the patch
light the hearth call it ours
no more to roam
