I have been listening to Richard Thompson my entire adult life. I have seen him perform a few times. It was when I was living in New York City. This was when Thompson was making his comeback based on the strength of Rumor and Sigh (1991), the album on which "I Misunderstood" appears.
This morning, plodding away at a post on the Inhumans, listening to Thompson's latest release, Acoustic Classics (2014), "I Misunderstood" came through my Harman/Kardon's. What a song!
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, 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 goodbye
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
But I misunderstood
I thought she was saying good luck
She was saying goodbye
Things I try 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
She was saying goodbye
She was saying goodbye
She was saying goodbye
