Heart's Desire

Night's falling on me like a big black coat

Staring through the window at the empty cold

Thick, white smoke rolling off my lips

My chest is feeling heavy like a cannonball

Got sweat rolling down me like a waterfall

'Cause I let love slip through my fingertips

Ooh-ooh, he-ey

I'm a raging fire

You're my heart's desire

Slippin' in and out of a restless sleep

Thinkin' of you, wonderin', if you're thinkin' of me

Or are you long gone girl, holding another man

The thought brings me right up to the brink of rage

Like a lion in a rusted-out circus cage

I want to break these bars and make you understand

Ooh-ooh, he-ey

I'm a raging fire

You're my heart's desire

When I finally settle into a midnight dream

You're walkin' through a field of flowers, smilin' at me

So I reach right out and try to touch your skin

Then a morning breeze blows and I almost taste

Your sweet scent drippin' on my pillowcase

Damn this day, here I go again

Ooh-ooh, he-ey

I'm a raging fire

You're my heart's desire

I don't think I can really take no more

Like a prize fighter laying on the canvas floor

I hear the clock bell ring, a struggle to my feet

I've been fifty-two rounds with your memory

I'd go fifty-two more if it'd make you see

Girl, you mean the world to me

Ooh-ooh, he-ey

I'm a raging fire

You're my heart's desire

Ooh-ooh, he-ey

I'm a raging fire

You're my heart's desire

(Ooh-ooh, he-ey)
