I could have been a sailor, could have been a cook, a real live lover, could have been a book.
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock, as simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
I could be here and now. I would be, I should be, but how?
I could have been one of these things first. I could have been one of these things first.
I could have been your pillar, could have been your door.
I could have stayed beside you, could have stayed for more.
Could have been your statue, could have been your friend,
a whole long lifetime could have been the end.
I could be yours, so true. I would be, I should be through and through.
I could have been one of these things first. I could have been one of these things first.
I could have been a whistle, could have been a flute, a real live giver, could have been a boot.
I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock, as simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.
I could be even here, I would be, I should be so near.
I could have been one of these things first. I could have been one of these things first.
