Longing in Their Hearts lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you 'bout a friend of mine
He's a short order cook
Long on speed and short on spice
He reads his customers like a book
He's seen this and he's done that
And now he's makin' fried eggs an art
But there's one thing he can't fix no how
There's a longing in his heart

[Verse 2]
He's tried for years to work it out
At the grill and at his home
Well, he talks to his friends, he talks to himself
He talks the chicken right off the bone
Talks to his woman and she understands
You know they're always eye to eye
She runs the joint, they live out back
Small house under a big sky

[Chorus]
Well, even the stars at night agree
That the sky is falling apart
She knows 'cause she can feel it, too
There is a longing in her heart
A longing in her heart
Longing in her heart
[Bridge]
Well, you and me, we're just like them
We never wanted to be alone
So we made a pact, sealed with desire
For a happier house and home
Only to find it doesn't untie
The knot where feelings die
Well, there's a longing deep inside our hearts
And no one to tell us why

[Verse 3]
Well, our friends ain't looking for anything new
You know they wouldn't know where to look
Well, her, she likes running the joint
You know, and he likes being a cook
Together they're doing very well
They're mighty glad they could
But there's a fire burning towards them now
Coming from a distant wood

[Chorus]
Well, even the stars at night agree
That the sky is falling apart
We know 'cause we can feel it, too
Well, here's a longing in our hearts
Longing in our hearts
Longing in our hearts
