Bonnie Raitt - Longing In Their Hearts Lyrics
Let me tell you bout a friend of mineHes a short order cookLong on speed, short on spiceHe reads his customers like a bookHes seen this, and hes done thatNow hes makin fried eggs an artBut theres one thing he cant fix no howTheres a longing in his heartHes tried for years to work it outAt the grill and at his homeWell he talks to his friends, talks to himselfHe talks the chicken right off the boneTalks to his woman and she understandsYou know theyre always eye to eyeShe runs the join, they live out backSmall house under a big skyWell even the stars at night agreeThe sky is falling apartShe knows cause she can feel it tooTheres a longing in her heartA longing in her heartLonging in her heartWell now you and me, were just like themWe never wanted to be alone,So we made a pact, sealed with desireFor a happier house and homeOnly to find it doenst untieThe know where feelings dieTheres a longing deep inside our heartsAnd no one to tell us whyOur friends arent looking for anything newThey wouldnt know where to lookWell her, she like running the jointAnd he likes being a cookTogether theyre doing very wellTheyre might glad they couldBut theres a fire burning towards them nowComing from a distant woodAnd eve the stars at night agreeThat the sky is falling apartWe know cause we can feel it tooTheres a longing in our hearts
