"The Longing" lyrics
"The Longing"
My heart is stomping inside of my chest
My temple is burning and it's dripping with sweat
My mind is spinning, yeah swimming around
My tongue's dried up like I've been licking the ground
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing
The hole in my chest yeah it twists like a knife
Taking over my body, taking over my life
I can't think of nothing, no one else gonna do
I'm hunter by the living, yeah, wanting you
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
The moon can move the ocean, could it get me to you?
I've got myself the notion that you long for me too
Gonna drag every limb of my body to sea
If just one wave can push me closer to thee
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you, yeah
My tongue's dried up and it's hanging down, yeah
Listen [?] like I'm a dog on the prowl, yeah
Looking at the moon and I'm wanting to howl, yeah
Under your spell, want to be under you now
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing, the longing for you
It's the longing
Gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you

Beth Hart - "Fire On The Floor" Love is a fever
And is burning me alive
It can't be tamed or satisfied
There is no mercy
For the fallen or for the weak
Love is a nasty word to speak
I don't wanna love him anymore
He's nothing like...

Larkin Poe - "Nights In White Satin" Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say any more
'Cause I love you...

I got a taste for dynamite
