If I’d been a sailor
Sewn all my anger
Into my nets and sunk them
To the bottom of the sea

I’d be a better lover
Less time to wonder
About all the stories
That they’ll never tell about me

If I’d been a tailor
Graceful in failure
Not bitter, cold and wasteful
Constantly concerned I'm not free

I’d tell a better story
Pass on less worry
To you and your family
When I take the prize and you take the fee

If I’d been a waiter
Lemon, lime and tasteful
Time for you in spades full
Pouring love and serving consistency

Instead most times I'm failing
Steps short of amazing
But you’ll never change see
Your heart is like boulders to me

Never ending, moving, shaking
Your heart is like boulders to me
Never bending, bruising, breaking
Your heart is like boulders to me
