If I Came Back As a Song

I wonder if I could come back as a song
Live in a melody that would linger on and on
I’d make my home inside a folk record sleeve
Dylan’s ‘Freewheelin' from nineteen sixty three
Track two
So you could play me when you’re feeling down
I would wrap you up inside my happy sound
Riding on the airwaves I would fly to you
Maybe then you’d love me too… if I came back as a song
Then they could shoot me from a cold satellite
Into a radio that you sleep by at night
And you would call out «This is my favorite song!»
I’d feel so happy watching you sing along
Let’s do…
So you can sing me when you’re feeling sad
I could be the best song friend you ever had
Riding on the airwaves I would fly to you
Maybe then you’d love me too
If I came back as a song
And you could sing me when you’re feeling down
I would wrap you up inside my happy sound
Riding on the airwaves I would fly to you
Take you higher than Keith Moon…
If I came back as a song
