Love Puts on a New Face

[Verse 1]

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"

[Chorus]

And the lonely loon and the crescent moon

What a pocket of heavenly grace

But in France they say every day

Love puts on a new face

[Refrain]

Love has many faces

Many, many faces

[Verse 2]

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"

[Chorus]

Darling, you can't slay these beasts of prey

Some bad dreams even love can't erase

But in France they say every day

Love puts on a new face

[Refrain]

Love has many faces

Many, many faces

[Verse 3]

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 'til we meet again"

[Chorus]

I miss your touch and your lips so much

I long for our next embrace

But in France they say every day

Love puts on a new face

Love puts on a new face

[Refrain]

Love has many faces

Many, many faces
