Keelaghan James I Would I Were Lyrics

I Would I Were Lyrics

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
