Hunger
|
(Janis Ian)
|
|
I HUNGER FOR YOU LIKE A SKY FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE SUN
|
I HUNGER FOR YOU LIKE A TIDE FOR THE MOON TO COME
|
I HUNGER FOR YOU LIKE THE SKIN OF A DOE FOR THE BLADE
|
I WATCH YOU LIKE THE SIN OF THE LOST FOR THE SAVED
|
|
HUNGER IN THE BODY, HUNGER IN THE SOUL
|
HUNGER WHEN I'M LONELY, HUNGER WHEN I'M WHOLE
|
HUNGER IN THE HEART, HUNGER IN THE HOME
|
WHENEVER WE'RE APART, I'M HUNGRY TO THE BONE
|
|
I HUNGER FOR YOU LIKE A SHEET FOR THE SCENT OF YOUR LIPS
|
AND IN THE HEAT THAT RAKES ACROSS YOUR FINGERTIPS
|
I HUNGER FOR YOU LIKE A THIEF FOR THE NIGHT TO DESCEND
|
I HUNGER FOR YOU LIKE A WHORE FOR A MAN TO CALL FRIEND
|
|
HUNGER IS THE BODY, HUNGER IS THE SOUL
|
HUNGER FOR THE LONELY, HUNGER FOR THE WHOLE
|
HUNGER IN THE HEART, HUNGER IN THE HOME
|
WHENEVER WE'RE APART, I'M HUNGRY TO THE BONE
|
|
WHY DON'T I DRINK MY TEARS LIKE WINE
|
THEY'RE THE ONLY TASTE YOU LEAVE BEHIND
|
|
I HUNGERED FOR YOU SO LONG THE SEAS RAN DRY
|
HUNGERED FOR YOU SO LONG THE MOUNTAINS CRIED
|
HERE IS A WELL THAT REEKS OF ROCK AND RAIN
|
HUNGER IS A HOLE THAT CALLS MY NAME
|
|
HUNGER FOR THE BODY, HUNGER FOR THE SOUL
|
HUNGER WHEN I'M LONELY, HUNGER WHEN I'M WHOLE
|
HUNGER FOR THE HEART, HUNGER FOR THE HOME
|
WHENEVER WE'RE APART, I'M HUNGRY TO THE BONE
|
WHENEVER WE'RE APART, I'M HUNGRY TO THE BONE
|
