The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 throes
Of one last look at the wonder
One last look at the wonder
Oh 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
Oh 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
I know that we could be so happy, baby
