Wish I was a summer breeze,
Blown’ through the live oak trees,
Blowin’ when and where I please,
Not a care at all.
.
Or a river as it rolls,
Knows just where it wants to go;
Wash away the tears that flow,
Mend a broken heart.
.
Oh darlin, your leavin’,
Has brought me to my knees.
If only I was something else,
It wouldn’t matter to me.
.
Wish I was a midnight train,
Drivin’ through the pouring rain.
Cold steal can’t feel the pain,
It just rolls along.
.
I’d wind around this mountain side,
Gaining speed till I’d take to flight.
High above the darkest night,
Like an old folk song.
.
Oh darlin, your leavin’,
Has brought me to my knees.
If only I was something else,
It wouldn’t matter to me.
.

Wish I was a summer breeze,
Blown’ through the live oak trees,
Blowin’ when and where I please,
Not a care at all.
.
Oh darlin, your leavin’,
Has brought me to my knees.
If only I was something else,
It wouldn’t matter to me.
.
Wouldn’t matter to me
