Bring Me A Storm

If I was a rock, I would need you to wash me
If I was a rock, I would hide by the sea
If I was a rock, I would look for my peers
If I was a rock, I would worry about how I look

If I was a shark, I would swim so fast that no one would see me
If I was a shark, I would be always on the run
If I was a shark, I would be an artist

If I was a pearl necklace, I would always be nervous
If I was a pearl necklace, I would dream of breaking
I would dream of being scattered

If I was an angel, I would take the form of a horse
And fly through rainy clouds
I would wear a beautiful tight suit
With scales on it to make me look like a fish
My hooves would be gold, just like my nose ring
My tail would be thick and brown
And I'd have a saddle in case I needed to help out a friend
Or a lost passenger
Or a dreaming child
Or a quiet old soul whose world was slowly shrinking

If I was with you
I'd feel completely accepted, like nothing was wrong
I would feel like a rock that doesn't want anything
I would feel like a shark, free to swim as fast as I can
I would feel like pearls in the beds of their mothers
I would feel like a child on the back of an angel horse

I would practice the trumpet
Until it sings whatever you want
However quiet
However sweet

I would hug you in bed
Under a big fluffy blanket
When it's dark and it's cold
And when everyone's gone

And I would feel your body breathing
And I would want nothing more
Because I would be a shark
And I would be a rock
