歌曲名 Love Is Just A Four-Letter Word

歌手名 Joan Baez

Seems like only yesterday

I left my mind behind

Down in the gypsy cafe

With a friend of a friend of mine

She sat with a baby heavy on her knee

Yet spoke of life most free from slavery

With eyes that showed no trace of misery

A phrase in connection first with she occurred

That love is just a fou letter word

Outside a rambling store front window

Cats meowed to the break of day

Me I kept my mouth shut

To you I had no words to say

My experience was limited and underfed

You were talking while I hid

To the one who was the father of your kid

You probably didn't think I did but I heard you

Say

That love is just a four letter word

I said goodbye unnoticed

Pushed forth into my own games

Drifting in and out of lifetimes

Unmentionable by name

Searching for my double looking for

Complete evaporation to the core

Though I tried and failed at finding any door

I must have thought that there was nothing more absurd

Than

That love is just a four letter word

Though I never knew just what you meant

When you were speaking to your man

I can only think in terms of me

And now I understand

After waking enough times to think I see

The holy kiss that's supposed to last eternity

Blow up in smoke it's destiny falls on strangers travels

Free

Yes I know now traps are only set by me

And I do not really need to be assured

That love is just a four letter word

Strange it is to be beside you

Many years and tables turned

You'd probably not believe me

If I told you all I've learned

And it is very very weird indeed yo hear words

Like forever plead

Those ships run through my mind I cannot cheat

It's like looking in the teacher's face complete

I can say nothing to you but repeat what I

Heard

That love is just a four letter word
