From the recording Slipper & Slim & the New Home Cookin' Band
Lyrics
I've been charmed in intimate gardens
Disarmed like a beggar's pardon
Heeding humanity' s murmur.
I've bled......I've healed......my essence firmer
My heart's been such a slow learner.
But
Now that I'm loving you baby
Now that I'm loving you baby
Now that I'm loving you baby
I'm headed a brighter direction....
I've crossed the river's bold embrace
Tossed over shivering waves;
Drenched by thirsty tears
I've grown.....I've shrunk.....I was never here
I never could see my way clear.......
But
Now that I'm loving you baby
Now that I'm loving you baby
Now that I'm loving you baby
Somehow I feel I'm alive again....
A traveller in complacency's grip
Chauffered by its denizen's trick
Blank check imagination
I fled......I stayed.....no inspiration
Just a guest of the situation.
Oh-h but
Now that I'm loving you baby
Now that I'm loving you baby
Now that I'm loving you baby
My life's beginning to thrive again....
