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
