Duet
 
If I were a rock and you were the sea
Would your sea bosom swell
If I fell into thee?
 
Would I drown in your arms,
As your love swallowed me,
If I were a rock who fell into the sea?
 
If I were a bird and you were a tree,
Would you spread
Your leaf covered arms for me?
Could I nest in your treetop for others to see,
If I were a bird, and you were a tree?
 
If I were you, and you were me,
Would we still want each other’s company?
What is that other thing we would see,,
If I were you, and you were me?
 
If we love with a love that is all it can be,
Will love be a cage, or will love set us free
To fly like two birds to the top of a tree,
And sing with a love that is all it can be
As we laugh and watch rocks splashing into the sea.
