Crazy to Love You Songtext

von Leonard Cohen

I had to go crazy to love you ?
Had to go down to the pit ?
Had to do time in the tower ?
Now I'm too tired to quit
?I had to go crazy to love you ?
You who were never the one ?
Whom I chased through the ?
Souvenir heartache ?
My braids and my 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 me ?

Deeper than saying 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 ?
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 me ?
Deeper than saying goodbye
