Mitchell, Joni - 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

Mitchell, Joni Love Puts On A New Face Comments
  1. M.... T....

    Wonderful x

  2. M.... ....

    Perhaps a genius, certainly a Canadian national treasure.

  3. M.... B....

    Always ahead of the curve. Rudimentary synth guitar prior to getting her Parker. Ideal for supporting her smoky voice & fully matured sophisticated song writing.

  4. J.... M....

    I've always loves Joni's words, voice and songs but I think she could have produced an instrumental album to much success. Incredible, one of a kind talent.

  5. L.... A....

    I'm big fan of the 90s music I grew up thru the 90s from my birth year of 1989

  6. M.... B....

    'wish they had put some drums in the mix!

  7. C.... g....

    Somehow she always manages to make me cry. And I do it proudly!

  8. r.... ....

    What a beautiful, plaintive song. One of my many favorite Joni tunes.

  9. m.... ....

    Can think of anything better than this

  10. J.... B....

    Joni saved my life. Many times over...

    J.... B....

    same here

  11. j.... l....

    Joni Mitchell, an artist, a poet and singer, songwriter. Her legacy will live on beyond our lives and much further.

  12. 1.... ....

    And on the eighth day, he played a Joni song and said '' now we're talking ''.

  13. R.... ....

    And in Italy we say "Class is not water". God bless you Joni!

  14. M.... L....

    wonderful I lived that

  15. L.... P....

    I love you, Joni. You make sense of everything.

  16. J.... W....

    Joni, Brian, & her new guitar, perfect...

  17. D.... F....

    I love that green guitar, too. What a master.

  18. h.... ....

    Beautiful. Period.

  19. P.... P....

    Every day, Joni.  Every day.

  20. i.... ....

    Joni's "fine wine" stage.... all things compiling to reveal a master at her craft, she still had vestiges of youth, yet the wisdom of years. What an artist, none today compare.

    i.... ....

    +itsALLartVideos "None today compare." Truer words never uttered — on paper, pixels, or sound waves.

  21. G.... W....

    Well what can be said other than she is the greatest!

  22. B.... B....

    such truth and poetry in this song

  23. N.... Y....

    Maybe it's just me, but I think Leno's minimalist introduction (replete with an almost imperceptible head shake, at the beginning) showed how much he really DID feel lucky to have Joni Mitchell come and play for he and his audience. Not a fan of his, but that's high cotton, as many talented people that come by his desk. 

  24. R.... *....

    I will paint pyrotechnic explosions of your autumn until we meet again.

    R.... *....

    +Bill Courtney one of my all time favorite lyrics

    R.... *....

    Yep, that line always gets me. I know I'm accessing the cliche but it's as good as anything on Hejira.

  25. R.... S....

    Magnetic..........

  26. M.... T....

    Thank you so much for uploading

  27. W.... ....

    Wonderful! Thank you Joni, thank you Brian, thank you Siquomb1.

  28. A.... B....

    LOVE HEARING JONI ANYTIME>>>>>
