Nanci Griffith Lyrics
"Wouldn't That Be Fine"

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
