(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?



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?
