If (Should Be) (c.t. 1995)

If only the seed would take root

If only the heart would die, yout wither and fade

If only the sickness would spread

If only loneliness would take hold with its iron grasp

I cannot wipe away all that you were

I cannot wipe away all that you are

I cannot wipe away all that you could be

Wipe it away

If only the liquor would burn at the conscience

If only reason would be listened to

If only caution would be thrown to the wind

I wouldn't walk this world alone

I cannot wipe away all that you were

I cannot wipe away all that you are

I cannot wipe away all that you should be

Wipe it away
