"Could" (<-- being that it was possible that the following be true) "never occur". I meant there was the possibility it might never happen, although I agree with you had I meant that it would never occur (read: different than could never occur)
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
