Don't You Need Lyrics - Melissa Etheridge - Melissa Etheridge

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? 

Photos 

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
