Sketches (For My Sweetheart The Drunk) Lyrics - 1998

[ Buy Sketches (For My Sweetheart The Drunk) ]

There
None to blame or forgive
Two cripples dancing
To the end we live

I
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
In the throws of one last look at the wonder
One last look at the wonder

O, 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
Of one last look at joy that we

But there
We were two cripples dancing
To the bitter end we live
I
I

O, 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
Break out the oldest pictures
Hand your ruined letters out to dry
We had a birthplace in common
And separate beds and lives
And lives, and lives
I know that we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
I know that we could be so happy, baby
Yeah oh.
