One Of These Things First 歌词

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 I 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
