Kristian Valen - If I Was

I wish I was - I wish I was a soldier
I'd fight and die for you
I wish I was - I wish I was your captain
I'd guide you through life from my bridge

I wish I was - I wish I was a poet
beautiful letters I could write
I wish I was - I wish I was a sailor
the stories I could tell

no, but I'm - no I'm
I'm just a fool for you
but I feel - I feel love
love I never knew

but if I was - if I was a soldier
I'd be the biggest coward of all
and if I was - if I was a captain
I'd fall asleep on my watch

and if I was - if I was a poet
I'd probably not dare to show it
and if I was - if I was a sailor
I'd get drunk in every port
