Let me tell you 'bout a friend ofmine

He's a short order cook

Long on speed, short on spice

He reads his customers like abook

He's seen this, and he's done that

Now he's makin' fried eggs anart

But there's one thing he can't fixno how

There's a longing in his heart

He's tried for years to work it out

At the grill and at his home

Well he talks to his friends, talksto himself

He talks the chicken right off thebone

Talks to his woman and sheunderstands

You know they're always eye toeye

She runs the join, They live outback

Small House under a Big sky

Well even the stars at night agree

The sky is falling apart

She knows cause she can feel ittoo

There's a longing in her heart

A longing in her heart

Longing in her heart

Well now you and me, we're justlike them

We never wanted to be alone,

so wemade a pact, sealed with desire

for a happier house and home

Only to find it doens't untie

The know where feelings die

There's a longing deep inside ourhearts

And no one to tell us why

Our friends aren't looking foranything new

They wouldn't know where tolook

Well her, whe like running thejoin

And he likes being a cook

Together they're doing very well

They're might glad they could

But theres a fire burning towardsthem now

Coming from a distant wood

And eve the stars at night agree

that the sky is falling apart

We know 'cause we can feel it too

There's a longing in our hearts
