Imelda May - The Longing

My heart is thumping 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
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 could push me closer to thee
It’s the longing, the longing for you
It’s the longing, the longing for you

My tongue’s dried up and it’s hanging down, yeah
Packing the floor 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
Gotta gotta get to you, gotta get to you
