Nick Drake is cool

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 beenOne of these things first

I could have beenOne of these things first.
