Wanting

Wanting

Have you ever loved someone,

Who loves you back, plus more?  

Have you e'r been treasured by 

Someone whom you adore? 

Have you ever wondered why

You're true love hides, and where? 

Though you hear her calling, 

And her scent is in the air...

Perhaps your waiting for the girl 

Who sets your soul  aflame,  

With unrequited passion, 

And a  strange, exotic name.

Or maybe you are looking for

A small, round, home-grown type-

Who sews,  and cleans and makes the beds, 

And cooks  organic rice? 

Perhaps your searching for your love,

Upon some distant shore, 

(But, even if  you  find her, 

You'll just   keep on looking more....)

Chorus: 

'Cause when it's day you long for night, 

At night you crave the sun, 

How can you have  what's yours, my friend, 

When searching's  what you want? 

No matter what you're looking for, 

No matter what the game, 

The characters all come and go, 

But  some things never change: 

It seems you want somebody

Who don't want  you, quite the same, 

And  when you sense their disregard 

Your instincts start to "clang", 

Your heart begins to flutter, 

Thinking  " this may  be The ONE!" 

'Cause  something in your  heart, my friend, 

Just needs to run, and run....

Chorus: 

'Cause when it's day you long for night, 

At night you wait for dawn, 

How can you have what's yours, my friend, 

When yearning's  what you want? 

No matter what you're looking for, 

No matter what's the game, 

The characters all come and go, 

But, some things just don't change.

And so you go around the track, 

Finding all the specks of black 

In anyone who  wants   you, and 

Who wants to love  you back. 

And when the  search is on, again,

Your know the  lines, your on your game, 

( While in your heart  your kind of mad, 

Relieved,  frustrated, sad, but glad.) 

And  , you're  worth so much more,  yes, you...

Your kind, and wise and funny, too! 

And when you  find someone like you, 

Just hold her tight, and love her true! 

Chorus: 

'Cause when it's day you long for night, 

At night you crave the day,  

How can have what's yours, my friend, 

When  wanting's  what you crave? 

No matter what you're looking for, 

No matter what's  the game, 

The characters will come and go, 

But, some things never   change...
