Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Madness Of Love

A worn out man

He came into town

He was mad with love

Oh mad with love

The whole of the town

Oh they began to weep

The rich and the poor

When they heard him speak

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, it's the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, it's the madness of love

My tongue, my tears,

I still don't know

If my words

Or my tears should flow

Now if I speak,

Well my tears stop falling

And if I weep,

My tongue stops calling

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, it's the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, it's the madness of love

I'm talking crazy,

Laughing crazy

Weeping crazy,

Going crazy

Like on that day

When everyone is gathered

Like the worn out man,

They all wept together

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, it's the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, it's the madness of love

The town was a river

They wept like rain

The town vanished

They stood on a plain

Like Judgement day

When everyone is gathered

They stood on the plain

And wept together

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, it's the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, it's the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, it's the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, the madness of love

Oh, it's the madness of love
