Wouldn't That Be Fine Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

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
