Love Puts On A New Face

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
