You want to know how it will be

Me and him or you and me

You both stand there your long hair flowing

Your eyes alive your mind still growing

Saying to me--"What can we do now that we both love you",

I love you too—

I don't really see

Why can't we go on as three?

 

You are afraid--embarrassed too

No one has ever said such a thing to you

Your mother's ghost stands at your shoulder

Face like ice--a little bit colder Saying to you—

"you can not do that, it breaks All the rules you learned in school"

I don't really see

Why can't we go on as three?

 

We love each other--it's plain to see

There's just one answer comes to me –

Sister--lovers--water brothers And in time--maybe others

So you see--what we can do--is to try something new—

If you're crazy too—

I don't really see

Why can't we go on as three?

 

(There are actually minor variations on some of the chords,but those above provide suitable voicings to follow the vocal melody.Perhaps someone can email me the exact right chords!!)
