I Wish I Was
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wish, I was the sunlight
Gently reaching out in space
And I wish you were the chilly morn'
So I could warm your face
And I wish, I was a spider
'Cause I've got a web to weave
And I wish you were a captured fly
So that you'd never leave
But I'm just a man
And you are just a girl
Though we walk hand in hand
With too much of this world
Oh and I wish, I was a scarecrow
'Cause I've got a scare or two
And I wish you were a stock of corn
With me protecting you
And I wish, I was a pillow
'Cause I've got some softness too
And I wish you were a weary head
Alone just me and you.
