The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

It's suddenly so clear

What it is that brought me here

On a winding trailing of loneliness

Across plains of disappointment

Across rivers of tears

Never slowing down, never giving time to restThe heart is a lonely hunter

It's hunger drives you on and on

The heart is a lonely hunter

'Till you find the place your heart belongsSo many times I'd had enough

So many nights I'd given up

But now I see its aim was true

From the first time you touched my hand

I know the one my heart demands

And all the while, it was leading me to youThe heart is a lonely hunter

It's hunger drives you on and on

The heart is a lonely hunter

Till you find the place your heart belongsYou can feel your heart beat faster

And the tremble in your hands

And the thrill of getting closer

To the one your heart demandsThe heart is a lonely hunter

It's hunger drives you on and on

The heart is a lonely hunter

'Till you find the place your heart belongsAnd baby you're the place my heart belongs

Gotta find the place your heart belongs
