Bert Jansch - Love Anew

For seven long years it seems
She has patiently lived with her dreams
Not a word of bitter regret
Not a look she could never forget
And not a wish to be ever in view
You know deep down she's looking for love
Love anew

She has carried my name and my child
Through summer rain and the long winters wild
With a soft laugh that's never uncouth
Not a lie, not a word of untruth
And after all that we both have been through
You know deep down she's looking for love
Love anew

Now freedom is not the choice that I'd choose
For a home girl is not what I'd lose
Beneath life's ever changing charade
A promise of love can be made
But memories fade quickly from view
Deep down you're looking for love
Love anew

For seven long years it seems
You have patiently lived with your dreams
With not a word of bitter regret
Not a look you could never forget
And not a wish to be ever in view
You know deep down you're looking for love
Love anew
