Verse 1

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 throes
Of one last look at the wonder, one last look at the wonder

Chorus

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

Verse 2

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 throes
Of one last look at the 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 

Chorus

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 know we could be so happy, baby if we wanted to be
I know we could be so happy, baby if we wanted to be
