If you were a carpenter

Your hand to the grain

If you stayed a stranger

And I'd never learned your name

If you were a creature of make believe

If you were the shades of colors my eyes cannot see

I never would have known

What you would have meant to me

[interlude]

If you had an ironclad

Reason to stay home

If you played a second late

Your hands missed the note

If you were a followеr of simple faith

If you’d been following another in some othеr way

I never would have known

What you would have meant to me

[interlude]

I never would have known

Just what you meant to me

I never would have known

Just what you meant to me
