A Modern Day Version of Love Lyrics

Neil Diamond , A Modern Day Version of Love
Acoustic Version from BBC 1971
Riff
And the night was filled with laughter
Echoing through painted smiles
And I knew each morning after
I never loved , was never touched
Gave not at all, got back as much
In the comfort of,
A modern day version of love
Riff , Em
Julie, how I've curse the sweet taste
Of lips that ask so much of me
Still I wonder with every embrace
Could I give and not break
Should I care and forsake,
All the comfort of,
A modern day version of love
Riff, Em
Close my eyes and keep on runnin'
Realize it isn't gonna work anymore
For me
I'm afraid for maybe that somethin'
Never cared enough to be afraid
Of anything
Be- fore, not before ______
Barefoot child on streets of cinder
Sleeping child the morning calls
Pray for spring but taste the winter
Take the hand, taste the kiss
Leave behind the emptiness
And the comfort of
A modern day version of love
Riff -fade out
