CARLY SIMON lyrics : "Slave"

(Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman)
Listening for your footsteps
Just waiting like a fool

Burning with a fever
Only you can cool


The clock beside my pillow
Has ticked away the night
Like a heartbeat mocking me

Until the light

Gotta stop these thoughts about you

Gotta learn to live without you
Gotta find some freedom for this weary slave
'Cause I'm hungry for you

And I'm longing for you
And I'm burning for you


I worship your opinions
I imitate your ways
I try to make you grace me

With a word of praise

However much I tell myself

That I'm strong and free and brave
I'm just another woman
Raised to be a slave


Slave, nothing but a slave
Mind of a slave

Body of a slave

I find I gave away the soul

That I wanted you to save
I'm just another woman
Raised to be a slave


hungry for you
And longing for you

Burning for you
And I'm longing for you
burning for you

And I'm yearning for you
Longing for you
