Richard Thompson - The Madness Of Love lyrics

I'm worn out from running Said the man at the crossroads I'm threadbare like an old suit Looking for two eyes in a million I'm dry tinder in the box One spark and I'd torch this place Take me to the city of tongues So I can call her name Oh the madness of love Oh the madness of love Oh it's the madness of love I'm wrapped in confusion Said the man at the crossroads Should my tongue speak Or my tears flow When the sickness takes you When the fever holds you When your reason leaves you Tell me how can you know? Oh the madness of love Oh the madness of love Oh it's the madness of love The whole town was lovesick They gathered at the crossroads The rich and the poor They began to weep The gutters ran with tears It was like judgment day No one could hold back When they heard him speak Oh the madness of love Oh the madness of love Oh it's the madness of love
