Like a desert needs rain
Like a town needs a name
I need your love
Like a drifter needs a room
Hawkmoon
I need your love
I need your love
Like a rhythm unbroken
Like drums in the night
Like sweet soul music
Like sunlight
I need your love
Like coming home
And you don’t know where you’ve been
Like black coffee
Like nicotine
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
I need your love
Like a phoenix rising needs a holy tree
Like the sweet revenge of a bitter enemy
I need your love
I need your love
Like the hot needs the sun
Like honey on the tongue
Like the muzzle of a gun
Like oxygen
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
I need your love…
Like thunder needs rain
Like a preacher needs pain
Like tongues of flame
Like a sheet stained
I need your love
I need your love
Like a needle needs a vein
Like someone to blame
Like a thought unchained
Like a runaway train
I need your love
I need your love…
Like faith needs a doubt
Like a freeway out
I need your love
(In the heart of the heat of the love…)
Like powder needs a spark
Like lies need the dark
I need your love
(In the heart of the heat of the love…)
