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
