The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter

(album: Read My Mind - 1994)

She came in looking good and looking around
She's checking out every man in the room right now
Don't go telling her about right or wrong
She's been alone way to long

The heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lasting comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon light
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter
When there's no sign of a love in sight

She hears him say "Hey, can I buy you a drink?"
And sees the pale white circle where he wears his ring
She knows he's dealing her a dangerous hand
The consequences of a one night stand

The heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lasting comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon light
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter
When there's no sign of a love in sight

From somewhere deep inside she tells him no
Before she starts to cry she turns to go

The heart is a lonely hunter
With only one desire
To find some lasting comfort
In the arms of a lover's fire
Driven by a desperate hunger
To the dark of the neon light
Oh the heart is a lonely hunter
When there's no sign of a love in sight
