I Misunderstood Richard Thompson

[Verse 1]
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"

[Verse 2]
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"

[Chorus]
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying goodbye
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying goodbye

[Verse 3]
Things I try to put shine in her eyes
Wire wheels and shimmering things
Wild nights when the whole world seemed to fly
