Longing In Their Hearts — текст песни (Bonnie Raitt)

Let me tell you `bout a friend ofmine
He`s a short order cook
Long on speed, short on spice
He reads his customers like abook
He`s seen this, and he`s done that
Now he`s makin` fried eggs anart
But there`s one thing he can`t fixno 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, talksto himself
He talks the chicken right off thebone
Talks to his woman and sheunderstands
You know they`re always eye toeye
She runs the join, They live outback
Small House under a Big sky

Well even the stars at night agree
The sky is falling apart
She knows cause she can feel ittoo
There`s a longing in her heart
A longing in her heart
Longing in her heart

Well now you and me, we`re justlike them
We never wanted to be alone,
so wemade 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 ourhearts
And no one to tell us why


Our friends aren`t looking foranything new
They wouldn`t know where tolook

Well her, whe like running thejoin
And he likes being a cook
Together they`re doing very well
They`re might glad they could
But theres a fire burning towardsthem 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
