One Of These Things First

I could have been a sailor, could have been a cookA real live lover, could have been a book.I could have been a signpost, could have been a clockAs simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.I could beHere and nowI would be, I should beBut how?I could have beenOne of these things firstI could have beenOne of these things first.

I could have been your pillar, could have been your doorI 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 trueI would be, I should be through and throughI could have beenOne of these things firstI could have beenOne of these things first.

I could have been a whistle, could have been a fluteA real live giver, could have been a boot.I could have been a signpost, could have been a clockAs simple as a kettle, steady as a rock.I could be even hereI would be, I should be so nearI could have beenOne of these things firstI could have beenOne of these things first.
