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
