[D]Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And [Bm]time future contained in time past.
[D]If all time is eternally present,
All time is unredeemable.
What might have [Bm]been is an abstraction,
Remaining a perpetual possibility.
[D]Only in a world of speculation,
What might have been and what has been.
Point to one end, which is [Bm]always present,
Footfalls echo in the memory.
Down the [D]passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened,
Into the rose garden. [Bm]
