Modern Day Version Of Love (Live At The Greek Theatre, Los Angeles/1972) - Neil Diamond

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

Truly how I've cursed 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

Close my eyes and keep on running

Realise it isn't gonna work anymore

For me yeah

I'm afraid well maybe that's something

Never cared enough to be afraid of anything

Before not before

Baffled child on streets of sinner

Sleeping child a morning call

Playful spring but taste the winter

Take thy hand taste the kiss

Leave behind emptiness

But the comfort of

A modern day version of love
