Hungry Heart

I’m seeking forgiveness From the spell I was under The path that we travelled Weren’t nothin’ I’d planned In a dimly lit bar room My world torn asunder Your crystal-blue eyes Whispered, you’d understand Cos the heart has a hunger That’ll steal the minds wisdom When loneliness echoes Through your fingers and toes Salvation lies waiting In the arms of another Who’s lived in the madness You’ve known, I suppose Salvation lies waiting In the arms of another Who’s lived in the madness You’ve known, I suppose So I raised a glass To the lost and the lonely The wretched the reckless Knowing they’d understand And shut both my eyes On the edge of forever And leapt toward the darkness With her holding my hand Cos the heart has a hunger That’ll steal the minds wisdom When loneliness echoes Through your fingers and toes Salvation lies waiting In the arms of another Who’s lived in the madness You’ve known, I suppose Salvation lies waiting In the arms of another Who’s lived in the madness You’ve known, I suppose
