THE THIRST

Don’t you deny 

The way that kiss made you feel

I didn't shut my eyes girl

I witnessed you revealed

I saw the flush sweep your face

I heard your ragged breath

I felt your heart pounding like 

A birds against my chest

When your hands rose up 

Pushing me away

Mine were the seducers 

Enticing you to stay

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Don’t fight it 

Don’t be a drop of dew

That the sun takes

Before the day is through

Be the downpour

That revives the drying earth

Of all that’s lacking

Ah girl quench the thirst

Mmm hmm hmm

The thirst

~~*~~

Don’t deny the hunger

The shock of the waves

That engulfed us 

Kept us both enslaved

While we were drowning 

In that embrace

I left the desert

Burning heat no shade

Oh I need you 

Give the dying rebirth

Be the downpour

Baby feed the thirst

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Don’t fight it 

Don’t be a drop of dew

That the sun takes

Before the day is through

Be the downpour

That relieves the drying earth

Of all that’s lacking

Ah girl quench the thirst

Mmm hmm hmm

The thirst

~~*~~
