The Longing - Imelda May

My heart is stomping inside of my chest

My temple is burning and it’s dripping with sweat

My mind is spinning, yeah swimming around

My tongue’s dried up like I’ve been licking the ground

It’s the longing, the longing for you

It’s the longing

The hole in my chest yeah it twists like a knife

Taking over my body, taking over my life

I can’t think of nothing, no one else gonna do

I’m hunter by the living, yeah, wanting 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

Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you

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

I’ve got myself the notion that you long for me too

Gonna drag every limb of my body to sea

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, yeah

My tongue’s dried up and it’s hanging down, yeah

Listen like I’m a dog on the prowl, yeah

Looking at the moon and I’m wanting 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 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 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
