I Wish I Was Lyrics - Soul, David

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.
