I Would I Were Lyrics - Singles - Keelaghan James

I would I were a robin's song borne upon the wind 

Lilting light through morning bright 

Soaring from the limb 

And if I were that robin's song I'd soar without delay 

And be the first thing that you hear 

As you begin your day 

I wish the Northern Lights were of a fabric apprehended 

That from these earthbound human hands 

Those lights could be suspended 

I wish the northern lights were mine to hem and sew and weave 

I'd make a cloak for you to wear 

To keep you from the breeze 

Oh all of the questions 

All of the stars in the sky 

Oh never the answers 

Always the wondering why 

I wish my hand could touch the place within your heart that's hidden 

Go to you as if some ghost 

That by you had been bidden 

And though this world is touch and go I cannot but believe 

Of all the things that touch us first 

Love is the last to leave 

Of all the things that touch us first
