Melissa Etheridge - Don't You Need Lyrics

I had a dream late last night, the water was runnin' low
And my fields were on fire, burnin' my sky, my body was movin' slow
And when I awoke I tasted the sweat of desire on my mouth

And I realized my heart had abducted my mind
And they were last seen headed south, and I can't sleep, I'm so wired
And I find myself screamin' 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 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?

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 runnin' low
And my fields were on fire, burnin' my sky, how was I to know
That I burn every night in my dreams and only mornin' can set me free?
