Lyrics The Longing Deep Down - Esperanza Spalding
Belonging
deep
down
inside
is
longing
Is
longing
Is
longing
Is
to
be
I
too
would
rather
run,
bound,
cactus
head
to
cactus
head
Stimulating
laps
flung
wide,
the
distance
well
rounded
A
working
circle
All
of
our
adjacent
points
equally
distant
from
The
center
Fulcrum
self,
it′s
fruit
and
its
pit
so
deep
The
whole
current
of
being
rises
through
it
There
between
your
crotch
and
belly
button
Lonely
river
bottom
Longing
to
be
entertained
Stimulating
laps
flung
wide
Wait,
wait...
Before
you
run
cactus
Wait,
wait...
wait...
Just...
say,
say
Please,
with
your
deep
dimension
close
Say
which
is
worse,
The
longing
to
arrive
there,
or
the
terror
of
approach?
But
maybe,
someday,
try
Mid-slosh
through
intermittent
voids
Try
standing
long
enough
to
toe
the
still
beneath
And
dare
an
inward
leap
Cupping
your
feet
around
that
looming
orb
below
Glowing
with
the
shape
of
real
things
standed
Other
murky
stones
enlighten
too,
to
guide
you
(No,
we
can't
say
home)
For
deep
down
there
is
no
promise,
only
longing
but
deep
down
the
Longing
promises
to
be
your
own
Longing
deep
down
inside
If
longing
If
longing
If
longing
Is
to
be
Longing
deep
down
inside
Is
fucking
hard
It′s
fucking
hard
It's
fucking
hard
To
be
longing
Deep
down
inside
Is
longing
Is
longing
Is
longing
Is
to
be
Longing
deep
down
inside
is
Fucking
hard
It's
fucking
hard
It′s
fucking
hard
To
be
It
is
fucking
hard
to
be
longing
And
at
the
same
time
feel
your
own
belonging
Where
it′s
real
Deep
down
Dep
down
Deep
Down
