Melissa Etheridge Don't You Need song lyrics
I had a dream
Late last night
The water was running low
And my fields were on fire
Burning my sky
My body was moving slow
And when I awoke
I tasted the sweat
Of desire on my mouth
And I realized, my heart
Had abducted my mind
And they were last seen
Headed south
Now I can't sleep
I'm so wired
And I find myself
Screaming out:
Don't you need?
Don't you want?
Can't you taste it
When you're alone?
Don't you cry?
Don't you feel?
Sometimes I wonder
If you are real
Don't you bleed?
Don't you need?
There's no quenching the thirst
There's no relief
For the hungry at heart
And as far as you're concerned
I'm just a thief
Entertaining in the dark
But it's you
Who holds the cards
Now that the joker is wild
Don't you need?
Don't you want?
Can't you taste it
When you're alone?
Don't you cry?
Don't you feel?
Sometimes I wonder
If you are real
Don't you bleed?
Don't you need?
Don't you want
To lay it down?
And feel your skin
Against the ground?
Don't you want
To ride the storm?
And then sleep
Inside the calm?
Don't you want
To get that high?
Don't you want
To be satisfied?
Well, if you don't
Want it from me
Don't you need
I had a dream
Late last night
The water was running low
And my fields were on fire
Burning my sky
How was I to know
That I burn
Every night in my dreams?
And only morning can set me free
