Subject: CRD: Don't You Need (Melissa Etheridge)
I posted this to a.g.t late last year, but it didn't get archived at
nevada with the rest of the ME tabs I posted at that point. I hadn't
saved the file, but luckily an (ahem) extremely organized friend (hi,
Chet!) *did* save it, and sent it to me.. so I'm reposting it now.
As with all my posts, it probably could be formatted better, etc, etc,
and, no, I give no real idea of timing. But I figure if you're gonna
play this one, you've at least *heard* it once.. it's not *that*
difficult.

Don't You Need
I had a dream late last night
The water was running low
and my fields were on fire
burning my sky.
My body was moving slow
and when I awoke I tasted the sweat
of desire on my mouth. And I
realized my heart had abducted my mind
and they were last seen headed south.
Now I can't sleep, I'm so wired,
and I find myself screaming out
Don't you need? Don't you want?
Can't you taste it when you're alone?
Don't you cry? Don't you feel?
Sometimes I wonder if you are real.
Don't you bleed? Don't you need?
[instrumental 3 full bars, lyrics on 4th]
There's no quenching of thirst
there's no relief for the hungry at heart
And as far as you're concerned I'm just a thief
entertaining in the dark.
But it's you that holds the cards
Now that the joker is wild.
Don't you need? Don't you want
Can't you taste it when you're alone?
Don't you cry? Don't you feel?
Sometimes I wonder if you are real.
Don't you bleed? Don't you need?
Don't you want to lay it down
and feel your skin against the ground?
Don't you want to ride the storm
and then sleep inside the calm?
Don't you want to get that high?
Don't you wanna be satisfied?
Well, if you don't get that from me--
Don't you need?
[instrumental 3 full bars]
I had a dream late last night
The water was running low
and my fields were on fire,
burning my sky. How was I to know
that I burn every night in my dreams
and only morning can set me free....
