Hunger Lyrics - Hunger - Janis Ian

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

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
