Tried for years to work it out
But there's one thing he can't fix no how
Talks to his friends, he talks to himself
There's a longing in our hearts
And even the stars at night agree
He'd talk the chicken right off the bone
He reads his customers like a book
Well, she runs the joint, they live out back
Well, there's a fire burnin' and it's towards them now
There's a longing in his heart
You know they're always eye to eye
You know they're mighty glad they could
The sky is fallin' apart
Well, our friends ain't lookin' for anything new
The sky is fallin' apart
We know 'cause we can feel it too
Well, her, she likes runnin' that joint
For a happier house and home
Long on speed and he's short on spice
Oh, and no one to tell us why
Only to find, it doesn't untie
There's a longing in her heart
So we made a pact, sealed with desire
There's a longing deep inside our hearts
Well, you and me, we're just like them
He's seen this, and he's done that
The knot where feelings die
Talks to his woman and she understands
Together they're doin' very well
You know, they wouldn't know where to look
And she knows 'cause she can feel it too
We never wanted to be alone
And he likes bein' a cook
Even the stars at night agree
Comin' from a distant wood
It's a small house under a big sky
Longing in her heart
And now he's makin' fried eggs an art
At the grill and at his home
