Leonard Cohen

Album:

Old Ideas

I had to go crazy to love you 

Had to go down to the pit 
 
Had to do time in the tower 
 
began my crazy 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 
 
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 me 
 
There are deeper any goodbye


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
