If I were free what I would do
I'd run and lock myself away with you
And turn a ring into a key
Oh I know that's what I'd do
If I were free

If I were strong I would be so mild
I would be strong enough to love you like a child
I would turn a cry into a song
Oh I know that's what I would do
If I were strong

If I were wise then I would see
What makes you love a foolish man like me
I'd stand by you just like a tree
Oh I know that's what I would do
I would chain myself to you
I would never leave this room if I were free

A line of birds across the sun
Darling it's my fate to follow on the run
But girl this running is not for me
I would never run again if I were free
And here's just what I'd do
I would chain myself to you
I would never leave this room if I was free
