i know we could be so happy baby if we wanted to be

Jeff Buckley

there s no easy answer, none to blame or forgive.
two cripples dancing to the bitter end we live.
i m not with you, not of you
not with you, not of you

you are soft and young to me
i am the ghost who comes and goes
and i hope i ll catch you in the throes
of one last look at the wonder.
one last look at the wonder.

o, god, i love you.
and all 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
and i hope i ll catch you in the throes
of one last look at 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.

o, god, i loved you
and all 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,
hand your ruined letters out to dry.

we had a birthplace in common,
and separate beds and lives.
i know that we could be so happy, baby if we wanted to be.
know that we could be so happy, baby if we wanted to be
yeah, oh.
