Longing In Their Hearts

Intro verse 1 Let me tell you 'bout a friend of mine He's a short order cook Long on speed, short on spice He reads his customers like a book He's seen this, and he's done that Now he's makin' fried eggs an art But there's one thing he can't fix no how There's a longing in his heart verse 2 He's tried for years to work it out At the grill and at his home Well he talks to his friends, talks to himself He talks the chicken right off the bone Talks to his woman and she understands You know they're always eye to eye She runs the joint, they live out back Small house under a big sky Well even the stars at night agree She sky is falling apart She knows cause she can feel it too There's a longing in her heart A longing in her heart Longing in her heart X2 verse 3 Well now you and me, we're just like them We never wanted to be alone So we made a pact, sealed with desire For a happier house and home Only to find it doesn't untie The knot where feelings die There's a longing deep inside our hearts And no one to tell us why verse 4 Our friends aren't looking for anything new They wouldn't know where to look Well her, she likes running the joint And he likes being a cook Together they're doing very well They're might glad they could But there's a fire burning towards them now Coming from a distant wood And even the stars at night agree That the sky is falling apart We know 'cause we can feel it too There's a longing in our hearts A longing in our hearts Longing in our hearts (x4)
