Longing In Their Hearts Lyrics - 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 

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
