Gowan - One Brief Shining Moment lyrics

(Lawrence Gowan)

I've got rain in my shoes

Every dime from the bank's been used

And every time I play the lottery - I lose

But I don't care much for the clothes that I wear

I'm never bothered by the length of my hair

Set my sights on finer things

That all a rich man's gold can bring

Out of a deeper hunger

I'm at your door tonight

Out of a deeper hunger - I want you

My work just makes ends meet

I don't live on the best of streets

In my rusty car the picture's quite complete

But don't be fooled by this appearance you see

'Cause there is one thing sure to motivate me

Maybe since I'm not impressed

By common measures of success

Out of a deeper hunger

I'm at your door tonight

Out of a deeper hunger - I want you

Under this exterior

There's a deeper world - ball of fire

And I knew when I looked at you

You got something to bring me higher

Set my sights on finer things

That all a rich man's gold can bring

Out of a deeper hunger

I'm at your door tonight

Out of a deeper hunger, baby

That's burning in me

Where it never felt so empty

Out of a deeper hunger - I want you

Out of a deeper hunger - I want you

Out of a deeper hunger - I want you
