hankering
a sense of longing
it won't change a thing
you still don't want me
id do anything
to make you love me
but I'm hankering
hold it above me

this feeling slithers down my spine
all the time like a burden
don't deserve it
don't deserve you
I think about it every night
heart is hurting
it controls me
would you hold me
I would hold you

think of me
this time has wasted
all my energy
its never coming
id do anything
just give me something
cause I'm hankering
reach out and touch me
reach out and touch me

this feeling slithers down my spine
all the time like a burden
don't deserve it
don't deserve you
I think about it every night
heart is hurting
it controls me
would you hold me
I would hold you

a sense of longing

Two sappy hit 1950’s doo-wop songs: Richie Valens “Oh Donna” and The Five Satins “In the Still of the Night.” Both are built on the popular I, 6, 4, 5 chord progression that ruled back then when I was a young boy learning to play piano.

Oh Donna and In the Still of the Night

I can see the light it’s burning
Like a diamond in the sky
Taste it once or twice it’s bitter
Like black rock spinning all night       

There is something wrong Rocky
There is something swelling underneath
I can’t tell what it is

I can break this it’s mine 
I’ll make it into something you can’t find
I can do it alright
Mash it to pieces until I’m blind
