Laura Nyro Crazy Love Lyrics

Crazy Love Lyrics

Oh, gypsy man the river has seen our lost melodies

With their notes so warm, moon banjo down a river in the breeze

He was singin' catfish blues, split apart, shot through the heart

Why did you make me feel this need?



Crazy love my name is in your blood

And what your true love's done to me



You blew through my life some fleeting years ago

From the Midwest plains and rivers to find the peace to grow

I was burning and you walked soft, talked soft

Like an animal on silent feet on a block of snow



You were looking for a true love to light the way

But it's all gone with your deer's eyes and your ways of steel

You could travel miles and miles in a blind reel

But I'd know you crazy love and turn my foolish heart away



Oh, my lover, father of my unborn star

I may ache behind your snake cold back

But my will is as strong as you are with your deer's eyes

I know so well your ways of steel, I wonder if I ever knew you



Crazy love, it's a crazy love, I'm empty from your weakness

Pregnant with the knowledge and the flame of your true love
