if i was a blind man i'd
dress you all in white and
keep you in a white room
turn on the bright lights and
call you invisible, call you invincible
and i'd dream of white waves on
a very lethal shore
if i was a sick man i'd
drink your bourbon and
drift into a blizzard or
any lethal storm and
emerge all windblown
cross-eyed and clothes torn
all just to see you on
another lethal shore
if i was a strong man i'd
pull your curtains
down from the heavens, past
where the sky was born
kiss you in secret
right in your locket
and then i'd pull your house down
like some very lethal storm
if i was a storm i'd
blow past your window
and linger in spirit
all around your face
and you'd never know, dear
the force that i bring
just to make your ears ring
and keep you in a haze
if i was a bird i'd
orchestrate branches
into a chorus
only you would know
crash through your window
all just to see you
all just to meet you
on another lethal shore
dress you all in white and
keep you in a white room
turn on the bright lights and
call you invisible, call you invincible
and i'd dream of white waves on
a very lethal shore
if i was a sick man i'd
drink your bourbon and
drift into a blizzard or
any lethal storm and
emerge all windblown
cross-eyed and clothes torn
all just to see you on
another lethal shore
if i was a strong man i'd
pull your curtains
down from the heavens, past
where the sky was born
kiss you in secret
right in your locket
and then i'd pull your house down
like some very lethal storm
if i was a storm i'd
blow past your window
and linger in spirit
all around your face
and you'd never know, dear
the force that i bring
just to make your ears ring
and keep you in a haze
if i was a bird i'd
orchestrate branches
into a chorus
only you would know
crash through your window
all just to see you
all just to meet you
on another lethal shore
