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.
