Out of a Deeper Hunger [Lawrence Gowan]


Out Of A Deeper Hunger
Written by Lawrence Gowan

I've got rain in my shoes
Every dime from the bank's been used
Every time I play the lottery I lose
But I don't care much for the clothes that I wear
I'm never bothered by the length of my hair
Set my sights on finer things
Than all the rich man's gold can bring

Out of a deeper hunger
I'm at your door tonight
Out of a deeper hunger - I want you

My work just makes ends meet
And I don't live on the best of streets
In my rusty car the picture's quite complete
But don't be fooled by this appearance you see
Cause there is one thing sure to motivate me
Maybe since I'm not impressed
By common measures of success

Out of a deeper hunger
I'm at your door tonight
Out of a deeper hunger - I want you

Under this exterior
There's a deeper world - ball of fire
And I knew when I looked at you
You've got something
To bring me higher

Out of a deeper hunger
I'm at your door tonight
Out of a deeper hunger - I want you

That's burning in me
Where I've never felt so empty
Out of a deeper hunger - I want you

Interpretation

I don't have a lot of money or good luck. I'm not concerned with fashion.  I work for a meager living and don't own a nice car. I don't measure success the way most people do. If you get to know me and what matters to me, you can see that deep inside I'm passionately in love you you. What I need is you.
