Love Puts On a New Face
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He said you think you're a lady
But I know you're a woman
We are as young as the night
I said no telephones ringing
No company coming
Just the lap of the lake and the firelight
And the lonely loon and the crescent moon
What a pocket of heavenly grace
But in france they say
Everyday
Love puts on a new face
Love has many faces
About a month or so later he said
Why can't you be happy
You make me feel helpless when you get this way
I said I'm up to my neck in alligators
Jaws gnashing at me
Each one trying to pull a piece away
Darling, you can't slay these beasts of prey
Some bad dreams even love can't erase
But in france they say
Everyday
Love puts on a new face
Love has many faces
He said I wish you were with me here
The leaves are electric
They burn on the river bank
Countless heatless flames
I said send me some pictures then
And I'll paint pyrotechnic
Explosions of your autumn till we meet again
I miss your touch and your lips so much
I long for our next embrace
But in france they say
Everyday
Love puts on a new face
Love puts on a new face
Love has many faces
Many many faces
