Mark Heard - I Just Wanna Get Warm (Demo) lyrics

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
