Tell Me What You Ache For - Kathy Mattea

It doesn’t interest me what kind of job you got

Where you eat or where you shop

The kind of car you drive

It doesn’t interest me how big a house you own

What I really want to know

Is what makes you come alive

I don’t want to talk about

How your future’s all planned out

That isn’t what it’s all about to me

Tell me what you ache for

Tell me what you wait for

Tell me what you long for

What you’re holding on for

Tell me what you’re dreaming

What would give your life real meaning

You’ve been afraid to pray for

Tell me what you ach for

It doesn’t interest m if your planets are aligned

If your signs are well defined

And your career is right on track

It doesn’t interest me

If you’re faithful and you’re true

If you’re not true to you

Then where’s the truth in that

I don’t want to waste our time

Comparing all our stars and signs

That’s not what makes us shine, to me

Tell me what you ache for

Tell me what you wait for

Tell me what you long for

What you’re holding on for

Tell me what you’re wishing

If there’s something that seems missing

That somehow you’ve been saved for

Tell me what you ache for

It doesn’t frighten me, those secrets deep within you

I won’t walk through fire for you but

I’ll walk through the fire with you

So, tell me what you ache for

Tell me what you wait for

Tell me what you long for

What you’re holding on for

Tell me what you’re dreaming

What would give your life real meaning

That deep down your heart breaks for

Tell me what you ache for

Tell me what you ache for
