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.
