What-ifs Maybes and Might-have-beens - Ian Anderson
We all must wonder now and then
If things had turned out
Well just plain different
Chance path taken page unturned
Or brief encounter
Blossomed splintered
Might I have been the man of courage
Brave upon life's battlefield
Captain Commerce high flown banker
Hedonistic down at heel
A Puritan of moral fibre
Voice raised in praise magnificent
Or rested in assured repose
Knowing my lot in quiet content
What ifs Maybes and Might have beens fly
Soft petals on a breeze
What ifs Maybes and Might have beens
Why nots Perhaps and Wait and sees
Suppose bold woman
Quite unsuited brave in adventure
Sojourns wicked
Velvet touch and lips soft centred
Tossing hair teeth bared in laughing
Imagine idyll Summers never ending
Winter nights beside fire roaring
Touched by madness filled with fondness
Kissed by love love without name
What ifs Maybes and Might have beens fly
Soft petals on a breeze
What ifs Maybes and Might have beens
Why nots Perhaps and Wait and sees
So you ride yourselves over the fields
And you make all your animal deals
And your wise men don't know how it feels
To be thick as a brick two
