Crazy To Love You

I had to go crazy to love you
Had to go down to the pit
Had to do time in the tower
Begging like crazy to quit
I 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
I 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
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
