If Only - Jesse Winchester

If we only lived on the ocean floor

Below the waves and the storm and roar

We’d stroll along in our garden blue

Where the flowers all come and play with you

It’s true we’ll live in a great big tear

But the world above will never harm us here

Oh I, I just wonder where would I

Be without the tears I’ve cried

Unless you’re from another star

Tears are part of what we are

Where will we run to

The blues always find you

The blues they know just where to look

Oh the blues they know you just like a book

Oh the garden here if we only knew

Oh the door is so wide we could breeze on through

We could sooth our souls we could understand

See the lion lay down by the lamb

But we linger on by the garden door

Boy the old world hurts but we still want more

Oh I, I just wonder where would I

Be without the tears I’ve cried

Unless you’re from another star
