A Modern Day Version Of Love Lyrics - Velvet Gloves And Spit - Neil Diamond

And the night was filled with laughter 

Echoing through plaintive smiles 

And I knew each morning after 

I never loved, was never touched 

Gave not at all, got back as much 

In the co-o-omfort of 

A modern day version of lo-o-ove 

Truly, how I've cursed the sweet taste 

Of lips that ask so-o much of me 

Still I wonder with every embrace 

Could I give, and not break 

Should I care, and forsake 

All the co-o-omfort of 

A modern day version of lo-o-ove 

Close my eyes and keep on runnin' 

Realise it isn't gonna work anymor-ore 

For me, yeah-eah 

I'm afraid, well maybe that's somethin' 

Never cared enough to be afraid of anything 

Before, not before ... 

Baffled child on streets of sinner 

Sleeping child, a morning call 

Playful spring, look face the winter 

Take thy hand, taste the kiss 

Leave behind, emptiness 

And the co-o-omfort of 

A modern day version of lo-o-ove
