Triad - David Crosby

You want to know how it will be

Me and her, 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

And 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 shoulders

A face like ice, a little bit colder

Saying to you, you cannot do that

It breaks all the rules, you learned in school

But 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 that comes to be

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

And I don’t really see

Why can’t we go on as three
