Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Like a desert needs rain
Like a town needs a name
I need your love
Like a drifter needs a room
Hawkmoon
I need your love
I need your love
[Verse 2]
Like a rhythm unbroken
Like drums in the night
Like sweet soul music
Like sunlight
I need your love
[Verse 3]
Like coming home
And you don't know where you've been
Like black coffee
Like nicotine
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
[PreChorus]
Need your love
I need your love
[Chorus]
When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
I need your love
[Verse 4]
Like a phoenix rising needs a holy tree
Like the sweet revenge of a bitter enemy
I need your love
I need your love
Like hot needs the sun
Like honey on her tongue
Like the muzzle of a gun
Like oxygen
I need your love
I need your love
Need your love
I need your love
[PreChorus]
I need your love, yeah
I need your love
[Chorus]
When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
Need your love
I need your love
[Verse 5]
I need your love
I need your love
Need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
[Bridge]
Like thunder needs rain
Like a preacher needs pain
Like tongues of flame
Like a sheet stained
Need your love
I need your love
[Bridge]
Like a needle needs a vein
Like someone to blame
Like a thought unchained
Like a runaway train
Need your love
I need your love
Need your love
I need your love
[Verse 6]
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
[Verse 7]
Like faith needs a doubt
Like a freeway out
I need your love
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
[Verse 8]
Like powder needs a spark
In the heat of the love in the heart
Like lies need the dark
In the heat of the love in the heart
I need your love
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
[Outro]
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love
