The Gathering Field

And I Wanted

The Gathering Field


I can feel you in the crowded bar room
As I get into my car 
Music playing, beads of sweat descending 
Down your skin to where your secrets are 

And I wanted 
To go back in and kiss you 
And I wanted 
To taste your salty tongue 
And I wanted 
To feel your body moving 
Feel your body move beneath me now 
Feel your body move beneath me now 

Fruit forbidden, one enchanted moment 
Summer night a bit too long ago 
You were waiting, he was late as usual 
Saw you standing in your Friday clothes 

And I wanted 
To go back in and kiss you 
And I wanted 
To taste your salty tongue 
And I wanted 
To feel your body moving 
Feel your body move beneath me now 
Feel your body move beneath me now 

All my life walked the straight and narrow 
Straight and narrow as a circus wire 
Best friend's wife, like a poison arrow 
Poison arrow filled with pure desire 

Feel the chill in the air, feel her raven, black hair 
Told you it had to end, can't go back again 
But here I go again 

Desert highway, wrap your arms around me 
Desert moon, the wolves are howling now 
Desert wind blow away the veil of reason 
Leaving just our two hearts pounding now 

And I wanted 
To go back in and kiss you 
And I wanted 
To taste your salty tongue 
And I wanted 
To feel your body moving 
Feel your body move beneath me now 
Feel your body move beneath me now
