There’s no easy answer
None to blame or forgive
Two cripples dancing

To the 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 throws 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
I'm hoping that I’ll catch you in the throws
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
And lives, and lives
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.
