Melissa Etheridge - Don't You Need lyrics

I had a dream late last night, the water was running low

And my fields were on fire, burning my sky, my body was moving slow

And when I awoke I tasted the sweat of desire in my mouth

And I realized my heart had abducted my mind

And they were last seen headed south

Now I can't sleep, I'm so wired, and I find myself screaming out

Don't you need, don't you want, can't you taste it when you're alone

Don't you cry, don't you feel, sometimes I wonder if you are real

Don't you bleed, don't you need

There's no quenching the thirst there's no relief for the hungry at heart

And as far as you're concerned I'm just a thief entertaining in the dark

But it's you that holds the cards now that the joker is wild

Don't you want to lay it down and feel your skin against the ground

Don't you want to ride the storm and then sleep inside the calm

Don't you want to get that high, don't you want to be satisfied

Well if you don't want it from me, don't you need

I had a dream late last night, the water was running low

And my fields were on fire, burning my sky

How was I to know that I burn every night in my dreams

And only morning can set me free

Don't you need, don't you want, can't you taste it when you're alone

Don't you cry, don't you feel, sometimes I wonder if you are real

Don't you bleed, don't you need
