ATonight I'm howling at a foreign Dmoon
AMight as well be a junkie's spooDn
ARor all the light it's given meD  
ASinking in my miseryD  
AIt's been forty days and forty nDights
ADarling since I held you tightD  
AI walk the desert of my dreamsD  
AI got to get out of here before DI scream
[Pre-Chorus]
DToo much take off, too mEuch landing
DNo such love, no understEanding
[Chorus]
I can't Await baby till you're by my sideD  
I can't Await baby though you know I've triedD  
I can't Await baby just one more rideD  
I can't Await till you're by my sideD

ACould you crawl through your telDephone
AGirl I'm so tired of being aloneD  
AI'm talking to walls in my hotel Droom
AAround the world in a sonic boomD

DAll I want is your sweet Esoul kisses
