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, as 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.
