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

Jeff Buckley
Album : Sketches for My Sweetheart The Drunk (Expanded Edition)

Theres no easy answer
None to blame or forgive
Two cripples dancing
To the end we live
Im 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 Ill 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 Ill catch you in the throws
Of one last look at joy that weve become
But theres no easy answer, none to blame or forgive
We were two cripples dancing
To the bitter end we live
Im not with you, but of you
Im 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
Ill 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.
