Chain Of Need

Chain of Need Lori Lieberman

Love is a river
Desire is a sea
Passion is an ocean, mystic and deep
But all I know from the things that I’ve seen
Love is just a link along a chain of need

Heartache is hollow
A death that you grieve
Scattered on the shoreline were the dreams that you weaved
Gave all you could, every breath you could breathe
Pulled you with the undertow
The chain of need

In the middle of the night
He lies awake
She pretends that she can’t hear him
The sheets, they fall between them
Wet and cool like rain

Somebody will come and set me free
Tomorrow I will untangle me
Somebody will come and rescue me
Tomorrow I will untangle me
From this chain of need

Love is a river
Desire is a sea
Deception is the price you paid for hurting me
Caught in the line between hunger and greed
Filling up the ache along the chain of need

In the middle of the night
She lies awake
He pretends that he can’t hear her
The tears, they fall between them
Wet and cool like rain

Somebody will come and set me free
Tomorrow I will untangle me
Somebody will come an rescue me
Tomorrow I will untangle me
From this chain of need

Love is a river
Desire is a sea
Passion is an ocean, mystic and deep
But all I know I don’t want to believe
Love is just a link along a chain of need
Love is just a chain and now it’s chained to me
In this chain of need
