Love is just a four-letter word |
| [00:02.00] |
for all fans of Joan Baez |
| [00:05.00] |
|
| [00:06.76] |
Seems like only yesterday |
| [00:09.45] |
I left my mind behind |
| [00:12.57] |
Down in the Gypsy Cafe |
| [00:15.11] |
With a friend of a friend of mine |
| [00:18.30] |
She sat with a baby heavy on her knee |
| [00:23.78] |
Yet spoke of life most free from slavery |
| [00:29.80] |
With eyes that showed no trace of misery |
| [00:35.52] |
A phrase in connection first with she occurred |
| [00:44.30] |
That love is just a four-letter word |
| [00:49.74] |
|
| [00:52.64] |
Outside a rattling store-front window |
| [00:55.99] |
Cats meowed to the break of day |
| [00:59.46] |
Me, I kept my mouth shut |
| [01:02.05] |
To you I had no words to say |
| [01:04.99] |
My experience was limited and underfed |
| [01:11.25] |
You were talking while I hid |
| [01:16.66] |
To the one who was the father of your kid |
| [01:22.56] |
You probably didn't think I did, but I heard |
| [01:27.34] |
You say that love is just a four-letter word |
| [01:37.34] |
|
| [01:40.50] |
I said goodbye unnoticed |
| [01:43.31] |
Pushed towards things in my own games |
| [01:46.51] |
Drifting in and out of lifetimes |
| [01:49.33] |
Unmentionable by name |
| [01:52.68] |
Searching for my double, looking for |
| [01:58.27] |
Complete evaporation to the core |
| [02:04.17] |
Though I tried and failed at finding any door |
| [02:10.33] |
I must have thought that there was nothing more |
| [02:15.08] |
Absurd than that love is just a four-letter word |
| [02:25.62] |
|
| [02:28.00] |
Though I never knew just what you meant |
| [02:31.21] |
When you were speaking to your man |
| [02:34.03] |
I can only think in terms of me |
| [02:36.73] |
And now I understand |
| [02:39.89] |
After waking enough times to think I see |
| [02:45.48] |
The Holy Kiss that's supposed to last eternity |
| [02:51.66] |
Blow up in smoke, its destiny |
| [02:57.69] |
Falls on strangers, travels free |
| [03:03.27] |
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me |
| [03:09.18] |
And I do not really need to be |
| [03:14.36] |
Assured that love is just a four-letter word |
| [03:23.82] |
|
| [03:26.83] |
Strange it is to be beside you |
| [03:29.39] |
Many years and tables turned |
| [03:33.23] |
You'd probably not believe me |
| [03:35.82] |
If I told you all I've learned |
| [03:39.22] |
And it is very, very weird indeed |
| [03:44.91] |
to hear words like forever plead |
| [03:50.84] |
Those ships run through my mind, I cannot cheat |
| [03:56.82] |
It's like looking in the teacher's face complete |
| [04:02.76] |
I can say nothing to you but repeat what I heard |
| [04:11.53] |
that love is just a four-letter word |
| [04:21.55] |
