Wouldn't That Be Nice Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

(Nanci Griffith) 

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 those 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?
