I Just Wanna Get Warm Songtext
von Mark Heard

The mouths of the best poets

Speak but a few words
And then lay down

Stone cold in forgotten fields

Life goes on in this ant farm town
Cold to the lifeblood underfoot
All talk and no touch
And I just wanna be real
I just wanna be real

The colors here are monochrome

Studies in one shade of grey
The good times and the hard times

Cut from the same grey cloth

And all the fires that crackle here

Consume but do not burn
All light and no heat

And I just wanna get warm

I just wanna get warm


The days they rattle past me
Like a tunnel round a train
Landscapes and heartaches

I don′t know what I feel

All I know is my condition
Is worse than I can tell
The small talk and the slow burn

And I just wanna be healed
I just wanna get well

There are things I should remember
But I have forgotten how

I'm all tied up with no time

Trying do too much

And the thoughts that I′ve avoided
Are the ones I need right now
Like a warm wind and love's hand

And I just wanna be touched

And I just wanna be real

And I just wanna be well

And I just wanna be healed

And I just wanna be warm
