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
