Love Puts On A New Face Lyrics – Taming The Tiger

Lyrics: Love Puts On A New Face
Album: Taming The Tiger
Artist: Joni Mitchell
 

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
