Janis Ian - Hunger lyrics
[Janis Ian - Hunger lyrics]
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 hunger for 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 a heart, hunger in a home
Whenever we're apart, I'm hungry to the bonе
I hunger for you like a sheet
For the scеnt 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
Yeah, ooh, yeah
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
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 hunger for 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 a heart, hunger in a home
Whenever we're apart, I'm hungry to the bonе
I hunger for you like a sheet
For the scеnt 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
Yeah, ooh, yeah
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
