If I Were a Carpenter

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway

Would you have my baby?

If a tinker were my trade

Would you still find me

Carrying the pots I made

Following behind me?

Save my love for sorrow

Save my love for lonely

I've given you my tomorrows

Love me only!

If I worked my hands in wood

Would you still love

Answer me quick..

Tim I could

I'd put you above me

If I were a miller

At a millwheel grinding

Would miss your colored blouse

your soft shoes a shining

Save my love for loneliness

Save my love for sorrow

I've given you my onlyness

Please give me your tomorrows

If I were a carpenter

And you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway

Would you have my baby?
