I Know We Could Be So Happy Baby (If We Wanted To Be)

There's no easy answer, none to blame or forgive
Two cripples dancing to the end we live

I'm not with you, but of you
Not with you, but of you

You are soft and young to me
I am the ghost who come and go
And I hope I'll catch you in the throes
Of one last look at the wonder
One last look at the wonder

Oh God, I love you
And all of the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else we come to
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be

You are soft and young to me
I am the ghost who comes and goes
I'm hoping that I'll catch you in the throes
Of one last look at the joy that we've become
But there's no easy answer, none to blame or forgive
We were two cripples dancing, to the bitter end we live

I'm not with you, but of you
I'm not with you, but of you

Oh God, I loved you
And all of the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else it comes to
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be

We had a birthplace in common
We had separate beds and lives
I'll just sit here and glow
Break out the oldest pictures
And hang your ruined letters out to dry
We had a birthplace in common
Separate beds and lives

And I know that we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
I know that we could be so happy, baby
Yeah, oh
