I COULD HAVE LIVED A LIFETIME

 

I could have lived a lifetime

Sailing the seven seas

One moment in the teeth of a gale

Then becalmed for want of a breeze

I could have charted new waters

Or discovered exotic new lands

Or battled cutthroat pirates

With sword and pistol in my hands

I could have lived a life of adventures

Sleeping beneath the stars

Lived by a strict code of honour

While sporting my duelling scars

All this and more I could have been

If I’d lived an adventurous life

But in truth what greater adventure

Than to lay in the arms of my wife
