Story Behind The Song

New love, old story. Those first seductive weeks....

Lyrics

I Want © 2013 Ken Kahn

I wake with a start when the moon comes up and it shines across my face
I stay up then just to watch you breathe until I start to feel at peace again
I feel so safe with your arms around me. Still don't know how you ever found me here
Till I feel sleep come a creepin over me, the only thing I want to see is you, my dear

Down in my bones, yeah the urge runs deep to taste that sweet new medicine again.
To hear my name upon your lips, feel the interplay of our fingertips.

I want nothing but this sweet new medicine
The world outside can just do what it do.
I want nothing but you, I'm sure - I wasn't sick, but I need this cure
I want, I want, I want sweet new medicine

The sun coming up in lines through the blinds and they move across the bed
Light as the air as I dare confide in you, these new thoughts circling in my head
I was so careful in what I wished for, and now that we have traded kiss for kiss
And while the day gets underway, I'll stay right here and think of nothing but this

Down in my bones, yeah the urge runs deep to taste that sweet new medicine again.
To hear my name upon your lips, feel the interplay of our fingertips.

I want nothing but this sweet new medicine
The world outside can just do what it do.
I want nothing but you, I'm sure - I wasn't sick, but I need this cure
I want, I want, I want sweet new medicine

BREAK
I wake with a start when the moon comes up and it shines across my face
I stay up then just to watch you breathe until I start to feel at peace again
Hmmm, hmmm.

Down in my bones, yeah the urge runs deep to taste that sweet new medicine again.
To hear my name upon your lips, feel the interplay of our fingertips.

I want nothing but this sweet new medicine
The world outside can just do what it do.
I want nothing but you, I'm sure - I wasn't sick, but I need this cure
I want, I want, I want sweet new medicine
