John & Mary
what if i was the hero
and my horse spoke English
the shepherd boy's bride
were you, with the other three

confronted with the battalions 
i saw the Germans and their guns
i would put down crossbow
rehearsing Rock for the matinees

what if i was the king
i was the beadle and also the judge
according to my law
everybody had to be happy

you were the princess that i wanted to crown 
so lovely to behold
like a flower blossom in the spring

no do not flee
pretend now that i was your toy
i could be your spinning-top 
or i could be your favorite pet

come give me your hand
lets pretend we have no fear
in the times of wickedness
i wonder when we were born

what if it was inevitable
fairytales would end like this 
beyond this backyard
there's one night that is endless
 
as you disappeared into the new world without me
i would be the one fool asking 
what's my life is gonna do with me?
