Richard Thompson - I Misunderstood

...
She said "Darling I'm in love with your mind.
The way you care for me, it's so kind.
Love to see you again, I wish I had more time".

She was laughing as she brushed my cheek
"Why don't you call me, angel, maybe next week
Promise now, cross your heart and hope to die".

But I misunderstood, but I misunderstood, but I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck, she was saying good bye
But I misunderstood, but I misunderstood, but I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck, she was saying good bye

Things I tried to put shine in her eyes
Wire wheels and shimmering things
Wild nights when the whole world seemed to fly

She said "The thing that's so unique
When we're together we don't have to speak.
We'll always be such good friends, you and I"

Oh but I misunderstood, but I misunderstood, but I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck, she was saying good bye
But I misunderstood, but I misunderstood, but I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck, she was saying good
I thought she was saying good luck, she was saying good
I thought she was saying good luck, she was saying goodbye

Oh, she was saying goodbye, oh, she was saying goodbye
Oh, she was saying, saying, saying, saying

[Cleapatr]

@coreyagraph You could try richardthompson-music for some recently published songbooks

[TheSometimesWhy]

when Craft and Passion had a one-night stand, Richard was the result...

if this man and his music don't move you, you're officially dead...

my condolences...

Richards greatest song. A great great song. I am not a great fan of his but just love this song. Close to perfect as it gets for me. Rich sings and plays this perfectly. About a perfectly innocent-evil woman but then aren't they all?

@coreyagraph Try his website..Beesweb. He speaks to his fans in a Q & A fashion. The chords for his songs are all there mate.

He'll be in Ithaca NY this fall.

@TheSometimesWhy agree totally think he's so under appreciated...if u listen to persuasion its an amazing song and much better with richard and teddy than the crowded house version yeah he wrote it and as good as they are they cant put the heart and soul in like he did
