La Loca

The world was only for the two of them and for the two of them
their home a clouds laid out in the sun
in their gazes love in their answers yes
and for their pain a single end

He left
his hair painted gray
she stopped taking care of the garden flowers
and she would say come we have to live

And the boys from the neighborhood called her crazy
and some men dressed in white told her to come
and she shouted no sir you see it now I'm not crazy
I was crazy yesterday but it was for love

In the hospital on a bench in the sun you can see her

smiling checking her old watch
thinking about what is to come that which left
and took with it her heart

He won't come she waits for him in her clouds in the sun
in that world of yesterday there were only two
in that world where
love triumphed

And the boys from the neighborhood called her crazy
and some men dressed in white told her to come
and she shouted no sir you see it now I'm not crazy
I was crazy yesterday but it was for love
(2x)
it was for love
for love
