[Verse 1: John Paul White & Joy Williams]
Where she walks, no flowers bloom
He's the one I see right through
She's the absinthe on my lips
The splinter in my fingertips
[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
But who could do without you?
And who could do without you?
[Verse 2: John Paul White & Joy Williams]
She's the sea I'm sinking in
He's the ink under my skin
Sometimes I can't tell where I am
Where I leave off and he begins
[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
But who could do without you?
And who could do without you?
[Bridge: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Oh, aren't we a pretty, pretty pair?
Yes, we are
All, all the king's horses
And all of his men couldn't tear us apart
Where she walks, no flowers bloom
He's the one I see right through
She's the absinthe on my lips
The splinter in my fingertips
[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
But who could do without you?
And who could do without you?
[Verse 2: John Paul White & Joy Williams]
She's the sea I'm sinking in
He's the ink under my skin
Sometimes I can't tell where I am
Where I leave off and he begins
[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
But who could do without you?
And who could do without you?
[Bridge: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Oh, aren't we a pretty, pretty pair?
Yes, we are
All, all the king's horses
And all of his men couldn't tear us apart
