Joan Baez "Love Is Just a Four Letter Word" paroles

Love Is Just a Four Letter Word

Seems like only yesterdayI left my mind behindDown in the Gypsy CaféWith a friend of a friend of mineShe sat with a baby heavy on her kneeYet spoke of life most free from slaveryWith eyes that showed no trace of miseryA phrase in connection first with she I heardThat love is just a four letter word

Outside a rambling storefront windowCats meowed to the break of dayMe, I kept my mouth shut, tooTo you I had no words to sayMy experience was limited and underfedYou were talking while I hidTo the one who was the father of your kidYou probably didn’t think I did, but I heardYou say that love is just a four letter word

I said goodbye unnoticedPushed towards things in my own gamesDrifting in and out of lifetimesUnmentionable by nameSearching for my double, looking forComplete evaporation to the coreThough I tried and failed at finding any doorI must have thought that there was nothing moreAbsurd than that love is just a four letter word

Though I never knew just what you meantWhen you were speaking to your manI can only think in terms of meAnd now I understandAfter waking enough times to think I seeThe Holy Kiss that’s supposed to last eternityBlow up in smoke, its destinyFalls on strangers, travels freeYes, I know now, traps are only set by meAnd I do not really need to beAssured that love is just a four letter word

Strange it is to be beside youMany years and tables turnedYou'd probably not believe meIf I told you all I've learnedAnd it is very, very weird indeedTo hear words like forever pleadThose ships run through my mind, I cannot cheatIt's like looking in the teacher's face completeI can say nothing to you but repeat what I heardThat love is just a four-letter word
