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 the 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?
