Lyrics

Thirst
(Written and performed by Nicky Nieling)

Well I'm weeping beneath the willow, on my tear stained pillow.
Dreaming of Amarillo in the morning.
I had a late last night, all party hardy, nearly lost an eye.
Another Monday comes as no surprise.

Well it's back to real life for a couple of days,
it's back to real life, I got bills to pay.
And if I got paid to have fun, I'd be ok.

Well that aint how it works, at least not on this earth,
if you want to play hard, you got to work hard first,
but the harder you work, you work up a thirst.

A thirst for success, and a thirst for pride,
a thirst for approval so far behind.
A thirst for all the good things in life.
A thirst for convenience and a thirst for speed,
a thirst for so many things I really don't need,
and I've got, the necessities.

I've got love, I've got hope, I've got strength, and I've got regret.
And I've got feelings, that I've never said.

Well it's cold tonight, sitting on the ground, it's cold tonight and the stars are out now.
I'm going to sit hear, and ponder and wander.

Well I'm weeping beneath the willow, on my tear stained pillow.
Dreaming of Amarillo in the morning.
