The Road You Didn't Take 歌詞
Different men need different things
Knowing what you want that's the secret
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 'eitheror'
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
