Longing In Their Hearts (Live)

Longing In Their Hearts (Live) - Bonnie Raitt

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

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 join They live out back

Small House under a Big sky

Well even the stars at night agree

The sky is falling apart

She knows cause she can feel it too

There's a longing in her heart

Longing in her heart

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 doens't untie

The know where feelings die

There's a longing deep inside our hearts

And no one to tell us why

Our friends aren't looking for anything new

They wouldn't know where to look

Well her she like 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 eve 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

There's a longing in our hearts

There's a longing in our hearts
