If I but had a ring and finger
I'd stay for you, I would linger

If I but had a roof to share
I'd invite you in to dry your hair

If I but had a beach with waves
I'd wash you over, sun, salt, shave

If I but had a mountain top
I'd climb with you, and there we'd stop

If I but had a ring and finger
I'd stay for you, I could linger
