The Road You Didn't Take |
| You’re either a poet |
| Or you’re a lover |
| Or you’re the famous |
| Benjamin Stone |
| You take one road |
| You try one door |
| There isn’t time for any more |
| One’s life consists of either/or |
| One has regrets |
| Which one forgets |
| And as the years go on |
| The road you didn’t take |
| Hardly comes to mind |
| Does it? |
| The door you didn’t try |
| Where could it have led? |
| The choice you didn’t make |
| Never was defined |
| Was it? |
| Dreams you didn’t dare |
| Are dead |
| Were they ever there? |
| Who said? |
| I don’t remember |
| I don’t remember |
| At all |
| The books I’ll never read |
| Wouldn’t change a thing |
| Would they? |
| The girls I’ll never know |
| I’m too tired for |
| The lives I’ll never lead |
| Couldn’t make me sing |
| Could they? |
| Could they? |
| Could they? |
| Chances that you miss |
| Ignore |
| Ignorance is bliss— |
| What’s more |
| You won’t remember |
| You won’t remember |
| At all |
| Not at all |
| You yearn for the women |
| Long for the money |
| Envy the famous |
| Benjamin Stones |
| You take your road |
| The decades fly |
| The yearnings fade, the longings die |
| You learn to bid them all goodbye |
| And oh, the peace |
| The blessed peace |
| At last you come to know |
| The roads you never take |
| Go through rocky ground |
| Don’t they? |
| The choices that you make |
| Aren’t all that grim |
| The worlds you never see |
| Still will be around |
| Won’t they? |
| The Ben I’ll never be |
| Who remembers him? |
