Your love
Husband’s lament
Taking my time
Odyssey
What you mean to me
Home
And when you’re older
One for the boys
Classics
Peace of my life
The things that mothers do
Advice to myself
Boomer’s lullaby


 What the song is about
A song about what most married people go through in wondering about what they might be missing and then, by the end of the song, growing up enough, to realise – and appreciate – how good you’ve got it.

Well you gathered all the things you needed in your life
Then you find one day you've surrendered them all to your wife
And 'cause it's often not the Camelot that everybody said
You wonder where the road less travelled might have led

You know that there's a world out there you've never seen
Yet every day you shuffle through your old routine
You think about the good times and the pretty girls you knew
Who went down the road less travelled without you

  And you're sad sometimes
And you're glad sometimes
And you're trying to work it through

Well a husband's revelations they come hard and slow
You tell your wife about things she knew long ago
You wink at all the dancing fools that you used to be
And you learn to count your blessings thankfully

  And you're sad sometimes
And you're glad sometimes
And you've had some times its true

Then you lie awake one night with the moonlight streaming in
And you smile away the shadows of those might have beens
'Cause with the woman there beside you and the children down the hall
you took the road less travelled after all
