"I Misunderstood" lyrics

"I Misunderstood"
(originally by Richard Thompson)

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 we 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 goodbye
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying goodbye

The things I try to put shine in her eyes
Wire wheels and shimmering things
Wild nights when the whole world seems 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"

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 good—
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying good—
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying goodbye

She was saying goodbye
Oh, she was saying
Saying goodbye (She was saying goodbye)
Goodbye (Oh, she was saying goodbye)
(She was saying goodbye)
