Jeff Buckley - I Know We Could Be So Happy, Baby (If We Wanted
To Be)
from the album "Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk"
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 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,
Hang 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.
I know that we could be so happy, baby
Yeah, oh.
