If I Could Only Be Your Lover 歌詞

Just another town, another house Boarded up, foreclosure sign Once this town, this house And you were mine A rusted latch on a backyard fence A swingset swallowed up in weeds Growin' up some back-porch steps If I could only be your lover I'd never covet any other Mornin' coffee, wake the kids Kitchen warms to the day This morning, this moment No different in any way The evening, a small picnic 'Neath summer trees Everything so quiet You'd never notice you're holding a dream If I could only be your lover I'd never covet any other The work dries up, it'll be OK The end's a voice on the phone From some office a million miles away If I could only be your lover I'd never covet any other That summer, your hair Had grown so long You'd pull it back in a bun And you'd sing a song A song that'd set this house alight Then slip 'cross my heart And on out into the night If I could only be your lover I'd never covet any other If I could only be your lover I'd never covet any other
