An Aching and a Longing Lyrics by Martyn Joseph

Thunder and Rainbows (The Best We Could Find) 1988-2000

0

[Verse 1]
The sun rises, a miracle each day
But wise men point the other way, away
Soft she comes like a pillow to my face
The burning passion, the warm embrace of love, of love
[Chorus]
We don't know nothing
We don't know much
Just an aching and a longing to be loved
[Verse 2]
Water runs from a mountainside
I see my shame and I turn and I hide away
The idols of man standing proud and tall
The eagle flying will be there when they fall away
[Chorus]
We don't know nothing
We don't know much
Just an aching and a longing to be loved
[Bridge]
Loved with dignity (To be loved)
Whispers deep inside of me (To be loved)
A million years away
From what the experts have to say
[Chorus]
We don't know nothing
We don't know much
Just an aching and a longing
Just an aching and a longing
An aching and a longing to be loved
To be loved
[Post-Chorus]
To be cared for
To be someone
To be precious
To be special
To be cared for
To be loved
[Outro]
To be loved
To be loved
