 Rate One Of These Things First
Artist : Nick drake
Song : One of these things first
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.
