Hunger

I hunger for you like a sky for the weight of the sun

I hunger for you like a tide for the moon to come

I hunger for you like the skin of a doe for the blade

I hunger for you like the sin of the lost for the saved

Hunger in the body, hunger in the soul

Hunger when I'm lonely, hunger when I'm whole

Hunger in the heart, hunger in the home

Whenever we're apart, I'm hungry to the bone

I hunger for you like a sheet for the scent of your lips

And in the heat that rakes across your fingertips

I hunger for you like a thief for the night to descend

I hunger for you like a whore for a man to call friend

Hunger is the body, hunger is the soul

Hunger for the lonely, hunger for the whole

Hunger in the heart, hunger in the home

Whenever we're apart, I'm hungry to the bone

Why don't I drink my tears like wine?

They're the only taste you leave behind

I hungered for you so long the seas ran dry

Hungered for you so long the mountains cried

Here is a well that reeks of rock and rain

Hunger is a hole that calls my name

Hunger for the body, hunger for the soul

Hunger when I'm lonely, hunger when I'm whole

Hunger for the heart, hunger for the home

Whenever we're apart, I'm hungry to the bone

Whenever we're apart, I'm hungry to the bone
