Just watched Jean Redpath on Letterman. She sang, “Some Kind of Love,” a haunting tune I just adore. It’s so true…
I think I’ve had a little too much of the love that comes too soon and the love that tears your heart. But I guess it’s just the way it’s meant to be.
Some Kind of Love
by John Stewart from his 1975 album, Wingless Angels
Some kind of love, some kind of love
Everyone’s looking for some kind of love
Some kind of love is like gold
That kind is the hardest to hold
It catches the eye of each thief passing by
Some kind of love is like gold
Some kind of love tears your heart
Because you know it was wrong from the start
But try to explain a moth to a flame
Some kind of love tears your heart
Some kind of love, some kind of love
Everyone’s looking for some kind of love
Some kind of love comes too soon
But that kind of love heals your wounds
When your wounds are all healed and you’re back on your wheels
You say, That kind of love came too soon
Some kind of love starts as friends
And that kind of love never ends
It comes on so slow, like the flowers through snow
Some kind of love starts as friends
Some kind of love, some kind of love
Everyone’s looking for some kind of love
Then some kind of love never dies
That kind is the hardest to find
Through laughter and rage it mellows with age
Some kind of love never dies
Some kind of love, some kind of love
Everyone’s looking for some kind of love
