I can hear your heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time you smile
And when I come to you that's where I belong
Yet I'm running to you like a river's song

You give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
You give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

You've got a fine sense of humour when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to you when the sun goes down
You take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache in the night like a thief

You give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
You give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

Yeah, I need you in the daytime
Yeah, I need you in the night
Yeah, I want to throw my arms around you
And kiss you, hug you, kiss you, hug you tight

And when I'm returning from so far away
You give me some sweet lovin' brighten up my day
Yeah, it made me righteous, yeah it made me whole
Yeah, it made me mellow down to my soul

You give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
You give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
You give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
You give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

sometimes hearing a cover gives one new appreciation of the astounding and moving poetry of the words,

Maybe my favorite Van song, nicely done by Thea, call it a 7 for now, maybe+1 some day.

Long Live RP and hearing songs added back to the main mix after years of collecting dust!!

It's a respectful cover from the woman's point of view, which the song's lyrics lend themselves to nicely. What's the problem? Does she even have to look like Van?

Oh my, the next generation of k.d. lang? Very pretty Van cover.

This song would be about 3x better without the uhmm... "percussion".

I'm the same way... you had better be able to put something into a cover that I haven't heard before before you open your mouth... but she does. He has a very mature voice for < 30! In a good way.

+8 for a great song. +1 'cause she's not bad looking; and is that Nick Drake I see in the background on the CD cover?
So you'd deduct a point from a song rating if it was sung by an ugly hag?

Indeed. It's a point that's been made on another tune from the same album. Quite likeable.

Nice tribute to VM. And now a move from Thea to Billie is a double move (I guess that would be a compounded move) Tremendous transition from you Bill!! Hats off.

I love Van Morrison covers ... even Brown Eyed Girl. I have collected 32 of the latter!

Everything I've heard from Thea Gilmore has been great, and this keeps that trend going :)
