If I were a tape recorder Would You take me in Your pack? You could say anything And I would play it back If we took the beach side down To where the boardwalk ends I would find a way To introduce You to my friends [Chorus] Were You a pool there on the mountain standing tall I would be a waterfall I would carry water down from depths that run untold Living water Walls can't hold If You were an umbrella now And I the driving rain I'd wish You were a bucket
Underneath the window pane If I play the field a while I might miss the catch When I show my colors I'll be in need of their match [Chorus] If Your words were water Brimming over to be heard by all I'd be the drop there on the edge The drop that pulls the waterfall Pulls the waterfall I will be the piece of clay And You the hands that mold You will be the purchase made Of everything I've sold [Chorus]
