Nanci Griffith - Wouldn't That Be Fine lyrics

If you could stand behind my eyes for just one day

Could you see my heart beside you?

If you knew my love had never flown away

Would I be missing you wouldn't that be roses

Wouldn't that be fine?

If I could wash away all these years with language

Could this naked love survive the light of day

If I could be the one who walked away

Would you be missing me, wouldn't that be roses

Wouldn't that be fine?

I saw the weather change high up on my cap rock

It is my sense of place, you were my holiday

If you could hold me now and brace these broken shoulders

Wouldn't that be trust, wouldn't that be roses

Wouldn't that be fine?

If I could turn your head with the round of my pen

Leaving all we've said behind us

If I could roll these dice and finally loose my anger

Wouldn't that be love, wouldn't that be roses

Wouldn't that be fine?

Wouldn't that be love, wouldn't that be roses

Wouldn't that be fine?

Wouldn't that be love, wouldn't that be roses

Wouldn't that be fine?
