Album: Nested
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
