The Longing

[Verse 1]
My heart's been lookin' for a place to land
It's not that I've been a desperate man
Most anybody can understand
The longing for love since time began

[Verse 2]
My heart's been given like a Christmas gift
Gilded and grateful then set adrift
Am I so reckless for takin' the risk?
I'm longing for whoever she is

[Chorus]
So, baby, don't be afraid of a soul that's laid bare
That's the way love is made, such a delicate prayer
And most anybody can understand
The longing for love since time began

[Bridge]
My heart's been beatin' evеr since your song
Rose from the dеpths and I sang along
Waiting and willing to be proven wrong

[Chorus]
So, baby, don't be afraid of a soul that's laid bare
That's the way love is made, such a delicate prayer
And most anybody can understand
The longing for love since time began
