Hungry - Nicki Richards

I miss you and I need you

To bless this vast continent beneath you

My north, south, east and west

Please bring the rain and the night again

Desert land, ribs of sand

Praying for the rain

Won’t you hurry up back this way again, hey

I’m nothing but waves of heat underneath

A cruel and angry sun

And I’m waiting for your cool water to come

(Yes I wait and I wait and I wait)

I’ve lost all control of

My heart and my brain

I’m wanting you so and I know

This is insane

My skin hungers for your skin

Hungers to feel your touch

I can’t get close enough

Hungry for your love

My skin hungers for your skin

Hungers to feel your touch

So hungry for your love

Said I can’t get close enough

No I can’t get close enough

I’m hungry

So hungry for your love

(Hungry for you)

Motherland, here I am

Waiting in the trees

Let me run wild, set me free, please

You can cross the span with your hands

Sea to shining sea

Let your breath be the wind

My warm summer breeze

(‘Cause I need you I need you I need)

I’ve lost all control of

My heart and my brain

I’m wanting you so and I know

This is insane, insane

My skin hungers for your skin

Hungers to feel your touch

I can’t get close enough

I’m hungry for your love

My skin hungers for your skin

Hungers to feel your touch

So hungry for your love

Said I can’t get close enough

No I can’t get close enough

(Hold me closer than close)

I’m hungry

So hungry for your love

(Hungry for you)

I can’t get close enough

No I can’t get close enough

(Hold me closer than close)

I’m hungry

Hungry for your love

(Hungry for you)

Once I was a hunter- a lion

And you- like the sky

Elusive, rolling by

I’d track your scent, I’d lie in wait

I’d watch for you from miles away

But now with you here in the dark

Who’s the predator and who is prey

There is danger on this continent

There is beauty in this fatal kiss

My love, my sky

How can I ever hope to capture you again

I stare into your eyes and

I wait at the horizon

‘Til you set the sun and set me free

And end this aching hunger

And stay with me

I’ve lost all control of

My heart and my brain

I’m wanting you so and I know

This is insane, insane, insane

My skin hungers for your skin

Hungers to feel your touch

I can’t get close enough

My skin hungers for your skin

Hungers to feel your touch

So hungry for your love
