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
|
That are 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 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
|
That are 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
|
