joni mitchell - love puts on a new face lyrics
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
