The road not taken

What is that path that you never took...but you sometimes wish you had?

  1. I often think things would have worked out better if I had run off to Hollywood when I was 13 or 14.

  2. Ah.

    Runrig:

    Things That Are

    She was the fairest
    And her eyes shone of blue
    I first fell in the autumn term
    There was nothing I could do
    School lovers swarmed
    Around the courtyard wall
    Then walked on up
    The rapture road aglow

    She kept me warm that winter
    And winter turned to spring
    We never looked round corners
    To the changes they could bring
    Her love was a dart
    And I swore she broke my heart
    The world would never turn
    The same again

    The things that are
    And things that never can be
    Are things that we must bare
    To share our destiny

    I saw her again last summer
    Where the hard rains fall
    The grass grew long around her feet
    Where the years took their toll
    She once meant the world to me
    But we by-passed destiny
    On the road not taken
    The road unknown
