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 throws
 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
 I'm hoping that I'll  catch you in  the throws
 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.
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
