Crazy To Love You (Old Ideas, 2012)
|
|
 Had to go crazy to love you Had to go down to the pit Had to do time in the tower Begging my crazy to quit
Had to go crazy to love you You who were never the one Whom I chased through the souvenir heartache Her braids and her blouse all undone
Sometimes I’d head for the highway I’m old and the mirrors don’t lie But crazy has places to hide in Deeper than any goodbye
Had to go crazy to love you Had to let everything fall Had to be people I hated Had to be no one at all
I’m tired of choosing desire I've been saved by a blessed fatigue The gates of commitment unwired And nobody trying to leave
Sometimes I’d head for the highway I’m old and the mirrors don’t lie But crazy has places to hide in Deeper than any goodbye
Had to go crazy to love you You who were never the one Whom I chased through the souvenir heartache Her braids and her blouse all undone
