Would I Play With My Band
by: Jenny WilsonI work four days a week
And the rest of the days I spend my time on the streets
I work four days a week
And the rest of the days I spend my time on the streets
I'm looking for something
What would I've become if you still were alive
Would I work in a bank?
Have four kids with a man?
Would I play with my band?
Still I don't know how things would be
Probably this is what's supposed to be
I think I saw you in the haze such a dream
I saw you were waving from a plane.
(You said:)"I know we're rising while the sun is going
down
I know we're rising though the sun is setting now"
What would I've become if you still were alive
Would I fight with my bare hands
Go to the church and get married
Would I let people down
Would I play with my band
Still I don't know how things would be
Probably this is what is supposed to be
I think I saw you in the haze such a dream
I saw you were waving from a plane
(You said:)"I know we're rising while the sun is going
down
