If I Could Lyrics
Take me to another place, she said
Take me to another time
Run with me across the oceans
Float me on a silver cloud
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would and I'd take you now
Stay with me till time turns over
I want to feel my feet leave the ground
Take me where the whispering breezes
Can lift me up and spin me around
If I could I would...
Hear you laughing as we go
Flipping backward through the doors and through the windows...
I'm melting into nothing
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would and I'd take you now

I think if people paid more attention to the last line of this song, they wouldn't play it at their weddings so much. She's a narcissist. He's doing his best to meet her impossible expectations. In the end he loses complete sense of self. This is not a love song. It's a tragedy.
I don't know why anyone has written about this song. I love it. The voice solo's of the woman are amazingly touching to me. I enjoy chillen with my girl and listening to it. If anymore phans out there like this song too, please write about it!

this song is phantastic, who is alison krauss?
She's the lady that sings in this song..she also plays the fiddle. I love this song, it was the first song I forced on people who didn't like phish to convert them. It didn't work, but I think they're deaf
