IF LOVIN' YOU AIN'T CRAZY I AM
by Van Walker

Sometimes in the morning
I pretend that I've been yawning
Cause I'm tired and I can't help it
Were you hurting? Cause I felt it
There's achip here on my shoulder
Must be worth at least a boulder
Tried to wash my face to change it
Bot the mirror won't rearrange it
Cause I'm laggard and I'm lazy
And if lovin' you ain't crazy I am

There's a sign out on the window
Says they're closing down for the snow
For the bridges have all caved in &
The windows they're all shaking
And the gutters are overflowing &
The streetlights are slowly going
And the candles are all dying
Tiny fires are getting frightened
And it's increasingly hazy
And if lovin' you ain't crazy I am

On the southside of the river
There's a box I must deliver
To a family of ancients &
I've really stretched their patience
Cause I wanted to be early
For the grandmother was surly
But the phone lines deceived me
Into thinking they'd believe me
Though it'd kill me if they praised me
If lovin' you ain't crazy I am

Now the nights are awaful boozy
Like some old forgotten movie
About a man who drinks with his dog
Cause he can't recll his dialogue
And he's playing his old records
But they sound like they're playing backwards
And he's fumbling with barbed wire
Making dolls that would take your eye out
Cause the television's broken &
The fire needs a stoking
And the possums in the ceiling
Have gone from scratching to a-screaming
And the pot-plants are all dying &
The whole house needs an ironing
And the lamp lights are all flashing &
My potatoes need a mashing
And there's dog-ends in the gravy &
If lovin' you ain't crazy I am

One light goes off, but one comes on
You were right: I went wrong
I know it's bad for my health
But I don't want no one else

What's that in the window
Like a little yellow pin-ball
Bouncing around & slowly poking
Like a yellow feather floating
It's the sunshine only smiling
With the blue sky draped behind it
And the maple trees all blooming
Around the compost heaps all fuming
While the children are outside screaming
Behind the cars slowly leaving
And the earth it keeps on turning
And soon my love will be returning
And it continues to amaze me
If lovin' you ain't crazy I am
