The Longing - Imelda May

Written by：Imelda May/T-Bone Burnett

My heart is thumpin' inside of my chest

My temple is burnin' and drippin' with sweat

My mind is spinnin' yeah swimmin' around

My tongues dried up like I've been lickin' the ground

It's the longing

The longing for you

It's the longing

The hole in my chest it twists like a knife

Takin' over my body takin' over my life

I can't think of nothin' no one else gonna do

I'm haunted by the living yeah wantin' 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

The moon can move the ocean could it get me to you

I got myself the notion that you long for me too

Gonna drag every limb of my body to see

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

My tongue's dried up and it's hangin' down yeah

Pacin' the floor like I'm a dog on the prowl yeah

Lookin' at the moon and I wanted 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 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
