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 loves 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 its all gone with your deers eyes and your ways of steel
You could travel miles and miles in a blind reel
But Id 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 deers eyes
I know so well your ways of steel, I wonder if I ever knew you
Crazy love, its a crazy love, Im empty from your weakness
Pregnant with the knowledge and the flame of your true love
