Lyrics Marianne Faithfull

Marianne Faithfull

Misplaced Love

You noticed that I closed my eyes again

And smiled in all the silence

I have grown in me for you.

But then, what accident of stars

Brought you so late into my arms

Where even now another sleeps ?

Here in my heart I know that you and I are one.

I wonder if some joker laughs as he looks on

I wonder if some joker laughs as he looks on

I wonder if some joker laughs as he looks on

At all our misplaced love, all our misplaced love.

You noticed that I turned my head away

And cried for all the goodness

I have found deceiving you.

Ah well, how could we know the hand

Fate chose to be our guide was tired

Of lover's bliss and holding hands

And deep in my heart I know that you and I are one.

I wonder if some joker sighs for what we've done

I wonder if some joker sighs for what we've done

I wonder if some joker sighs for what we've done

With all our misplaced, all our misplaced love.

I noticed that you touched my soul in time

And lied to stop my leaving

For a place where no one hears.

But then what randomness and chance

Could move the mountain from our dreams,

Or break the spell upon us now ?

And though deep in my heart I know you and I are one

I wonder if the joker dies what will become

I wonder if the joker dies what will become

I wonder if the joker dies what will become

Of all our misplaced love.

All our misplaced love.
