Love (with Jacqui Crowe)

about

I've known Jacqui Crowe since the late '80's, when we were young(er) scenesters in the golden age of the New Brunswick (NJ) music explosion, centered at the legendary Court Tavern. No, Bruce never played there, but Joey came to hang once. After a while, Jacqui and I discovered that we both loved antiques and old junque. She and her husband Tom ran an antique shop for years, I used to visit and bring things for her to sell. I always knew that she could sing, but I never got much of a chance to hear her. I'm so happy to have been able to do this duet with her, and I think she sounds fabulous.

This song came to me in a dream. I woke up singing it, and wrote down all the words I could remember, the rest came in a rush, like all my favorite songs seem to.

lyrics

Love has set me wandering
Love has brought me home
Love has turned my blood to ice
Love has kept me warm

Love has made me crazy
Love has kept me sane
Love has made me reckless
And shown me restraint

Love has been a little lamb
Love has been a beast
Love has fed me bread and water
Love has been a feast

Love has dropped me on my head
Love has tied me to a bed
Love has filled me full of lead
Love has healed and love has bled
And love has whispered in my ear
Called me honey, called me dear
Love told me, get outta here
Love has made me disappear

Love has been a mystery
Love has been my enemy
Love has taught me empathy
Love brought out the best in me
And love has told the boldest lies
Love has made me roll my eyes
But love will never be denied
Writes its name across the sky

Love will haunt me ‘til the end
Love will be my only friend
Love will show me where I’ve been
Love will be a whirlwind
And love will lie and love will cheat
Love will sweep me off my feet
Leave me begging on the street
But, really now, isn’t love sweet

Isn’t love sweet, isn’t love sweet, isn’t love sweet.
