in the wanting of love

you continually play your part

as the wanting of love

takes another notch from your heart

with the wanting of love

always fresh on your mind

it's the wanting of love

that takes all of your time

in the wanting of love

comes the salt of its tears

as the wanting of love

seasons all the lost years

with the wanting of love

you warm to the touch

it's the wanting of love

that's your permanent crutch
