Wouldn't That Be Fine

Nanci Griffith · Blue Roses From The Moons [1997]

If you could stand behind my eyes for just one day

Could you see my heart beside you?

And 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



Oh, 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 will

Leaving all we've said behind us

If I could roll these dice and finally loose my anger



Oh, wouldn't that be love

Wouldn't that be roses

Wouldn't that be fine



Oh, wouldn't that be love

Wouldn't that be roses

Wouldn't that be fine



Oh, wouldn't that be love

Wouldn't that be roses

Wouldn't that be fine

Wouldn't that be fine



Wouldn't that be love

Wouldn't that be roses

Wouldn't that be fine

Wouldn't that be fine



Wouldn't that be love

Wouldn't that be roses

Wouldn't that be fine
