Through a long and sleepless night ...

[david_watts]

Well, my loyal readers and friends, the evening tends to fade towards the silenceness of sleep. The only sounds that keep my eyes open are the hammered typing on my keyboard, and the crooniest voice there is {if you don't count Tom Jones ..}, so ... please understand that i had to share this.. because it's beautiful..

If..

If you were the road i'd go all the way
If you were the night i'd sleep in the day
If you were the day i'd cry in the night
Coz you are the way, the truth and the light

If you were a tree i could put my arms around you
and you would not complain
If you were a tree i would carve my name into your side
and you would not cry,
because trees don't cry..

If you were a man i would still love you
If you were a drink i'd drink my fill of you
If you were attacked i would kill for you
If your name was Jack i would change mine to Jill for you

If you were a horse i'd clean the crap out of your stable
and never once complain
If you were a horse i'd ride you through the fields at dawn
through the day and until the day was gone
i would sing about you in my songs
as we rode away to the setting sun ...

If you were my little girl i would find hard to let you go
If you were my sister i would find it doubly so

If you were a dog i'd feed you scraps from the table
though my wife'd complain
If you were my dog i am sure you'd like it better then
to be my loyal four legged friend
you'd never have to think again
and we could be together to the end !
