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)
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

like the hot needs the sun
like honey on her 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)
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...
[repeat 9 times]

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...
[repeat 7 times]

like faith needs a doubt
like a freeway out
i need your love

like powder needs a spark
like lies need the dark
i need your love

in the heart of the heat of the love
in the heart of the heat of the love...
[repeat until end]
