If You Were a Bluebird

(George Hancock)



If you were a bluebird

You'd be a sad one

I'd give you a true word

But you've already had one

If you were a bluebird you'd be crying

You'd be flying home.



If you were a raindrop

You'd shine like a rainbow

And if you were a train stop

The conductor would sing low

If you were a raindrop you'd be falling

You'd be calling home.

If you were a hotel honey

You'd be a grand one

But if you hit a slow spell

Do you think you could stand one

If you were a hotel, well, I'd lean on your doorbell

I'd call you my home.



If I was a highway

I'd stretch alongside you

I'd help you pass by ways

That had dissatisfied you

If I was a highway, well, I'd be stretching

I'd be fetching you home.
