Mark Heard I Just Wanna Get Warm
[Verse 1]
Oh the mouths of the best poets speak but a few words
And then lay down stone cold in forgotten fields
Life goes on in this ant farm town cold to the lifeblood underfoot
All talk and no touch and I just wanna be real
I just wanna be real
[Verse 2]
The colors here are monochrome - studies in one shade of grey
The good times and the hard times cut from the same grey cloth
And all the fires that crackle here consume but do not burn
All light and no heat - I just wanna get warm
I just wanna get warm
Hey yeah yeah
Hey hey hey hey yeah
[Verse 3]
The days they rattle past me like a tunnel round a train
Landscapes and heartaches - I don't know what I feel
All I know is my condition is muchworse than I can tell
The small talk and the slow burn and I just wanna be healed
I just wanna get well
Hey hey yeah
Oh oh
Oh I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna be warm
I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna be warm
[Verse 4]
There are things I should remember but I have forgotten how
I'm all tied up with no time - trying do too much
And the thoughts that I've avoided are the ones I need right now
Like a warm wind and love's hand - I just wanna be touched
[Outro]
I just wanna be touched
I just wanna be real
I just wanna get well
I just wanna be healed
I just wanna be warm
Hey hey hey hey
Yeah yeah eh eh eh
