It's A Crime Of The Heart
Neil Young · Other Songs - Neil Young
Honey, you always
come across my mind
Is it the way that you hold me
Or the way that
you told me love is blind
Well, it's a crime of the heart
These things I'm
thinking to myself
But I can't forget you, babe
Just can't seem to
think of nothing else.
Got a woman at home
A family to feed
Three fine children
They think the Lord of me
Now I'm standing
at the crossroads
Looking for a sign of true love.
Well, I heard that song
Says girls just wanna have fun
Well, I guess I
bought my ticket, honey
'Cause it feels as if
the ride has just begun
Well, there's two kinds of love
One is wrong and one is right
But I can't forget you baby
Can't forget
the way you hold me tight.
I got a woman at home
A family to feed
Three fine children
They think the Lord of me
Well, I'm standing
at the crossroads
Looking for a sign of true love.
When I think about women
Honey, you always
come across my mind
Is it the way that you told me
The way you told me love is blind
Well, it's a crime of the heart
These things I'm
thinking to myself now
Can't forget you, babe
Can't forget
the way you make me feel.
I got a woman at home
A family to feed
Three fine children
At the crossroads
Looking for a sign of true love.

The track captures the artist's signature ability to blend raw acoustic textures with introspective songwriting, exploring themes of love and loss without relying on grandiose production.

Young's delivery emphasizes the lyrical weight of the composition, allowing the melody to underscore the emotional stakes of the narrative. This recording reflects the enduring quality of his songwriting, offering listeners a moment of quiet reflection within a broader body of influential work that has defined generations of rock and folk music.
