Love Is Just a Four-Letter Word - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)[00:00:00]
Seems like only yesterday[00:00:06]
I left my mind behind[00:00:08]
Down in the Gypsy Cafe[00:00:12]
With a friend of a friend of mine[00:00:14]
She sat with a baby heavy on her knee[00:00:17]
Yet spoke of life most free from slavery[00:00:23]
With eyes that showed no trace of misery[00:00:28]
A phrase in connection first with she I heard[00:00:34]
That love is just a four-letter word[00:00:43]
Outside a rambling store-front window[00:00:52]
Cats meowed to the break of day[00:00:55]
Me I kept my mouth shut[00:00:58]
To you I had no words to say[00:01:01]
My experience was limited and underfed[00:01:04]
You were talking while I hid[00:01:10]
To the one who was the father of your kid[00:01:15]
You probably didn't think I did but I heard[00:01:21]
You say that love is just a four-letter word[00:01:30]
I said goodbye unnoticed[00:01:39]
Pushed towards things in my own games[00:01:42]
Drifting in and out of lifetimes[00:01:45]
Unmentionable by name[00:01:48]
Searching for my double looking for[00:01:52]
Complete evaporation to the core[00:01:57]
Though I tried and failed at finding any door[00:02:03]
I must have thought that there was nothing more[00:02:09]
Absurd than that love is just a four-letter word[00:02:14]
Though I never knew just what you meant[00:02:27]
When you were speaking to your man[00:02:30]
I can only think in terms of me[00:02:33]
And now I understand[00:02:36]
After waking enough times to think I see[00:02:39]
The Holy Kiss that's supposed to last eternity[00:02:44]
Blow up in smoke its destiny[00:02:51]
Falls on strangers travels free[00:02:56]
Yes I know now traps are only set by me[00:03:02]
And I do not really need to be[00:03:08]
Assured that love is just a four-letter word[00:03:13]
Strange it is to be beside you many years the tables turned[00:03:26]
You'd probably not believe me if told you all I've learned[00:03:32]
And it is very very weird indeed[00:03:38]
To hear words like "forever" plead[00:03:44]
So ships run through my mind I cannot cheat[00:03:50]
It's like looking in a teacher's face complete[00:03:56]
I can say nothing to you but repeat what I heard[00:04:02]
That love is just a four-letter word[00:04:10]
