THE LONGING Feb. 17/86 Karl Rigelhof

CHORUS:
And when the longing gets too much
And I must/can't reach out to you
And when I need to feel your touch
And there's/is nothing I can do/
(Be)cause you're far away
But when I think about your smile/eyes
The feeling flows through (me)
And I hold it for awhile
And let (the/(y)our) love (come) shin(ing) through
(And) (it) brightens (up) my day
With (just) the/a thought of you

(As) I immerse myself in you(r love)
You disperse yourself in me/mine
(As) we converse with(/)in strange/foreign tongues
(Which) (we've) (un)rehearsed before it has/'s begun

You overwhelm me with (your) desire
You take the helm when in need
You console me (with your love)/(when I'm tired)
You control me if/when I'm angry

You consume me with(/)in your passion/flame
You (can't) assume I will remain (the same)
Like a fire from a (single) spark (has) (in)flame(d/s)
Then you do (it(/)to) (me) (once) again
(Until I feel no pain)

You overcome me with delight
You fill my lonely days and nights
You have become my (shining light)/(day and night)
You make everything (feel) all right
(You add colour to my/what's black and white)
