Song Lyrics
There is a town in north ontario,
With dream comfort memory to spare,
And in my mind I still need a place to go,
All my changes were there.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Baby can you hear me now?
The chains are locked and tied across the door,
Baby, sing with me somehow.
Blue, blue windows behind the stars,
Yellow moon on the rise,
Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us

Flashback Video: Official music video for the song “Constant Craving” performed by k.d. lang.
“Constant Craving” is a song written by k.d. lang and Ben Mink, and performed by k.d. lang on her album, Ingénue. The song first made the charts in 1992, and won her the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1993and an MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video. The track also appears on the 2008 compilation album, Northern Songs: Canada’s Best and Brightest, which highlights some of Canada’s best musicians from a variety of genres.
“Constant Craving” peaked at #38 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also reached #2 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart. In the UK, the song was initially a modest hit when released in 1992, but after being re-released in 1993 in the wake of its American success, it peaked at #15 on the UK Singles Chart in its fourth week.
The music video was filmed in black-and-white. It presents a fanciful recreation of the premiere of Samuel Beckett’s play Waiting for Godot in Paris, 1953. Here, she is depicted singing backstage while the actors perform. The director, Mark Romanek, says the song’s lyrics of desperation and waiting fit well with the themes of Beckett’s play. The video won the award for Best Female Video at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards much to Lang’s surprise.
Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave
Here beneath my skin
And constant craving
Has always been
Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls towards truth
Or maybe it is life itself
Leads wisdom
To its youth
Constant craving
Has always been
Craving
Ah ha
Constant craving
Has always been
Constant craving
Has always been
Constant craving
Has always been
Craving
Ah ha
Constant craving
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been

Can I get your hand to write on
Just a piece of leg to bite on
What a night to fly my kite on
Do you want to flash a light on
Take a look its on display – for you
Coming down no not today
Did you meet your fortune teller
Get it off with no propellor
Do it up it’s on with Stella
What a way to finally smell her
Pick it up but not too strong – for you
Take a piece and pass it on
Fly away on my Zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We’ll find a place together
Fly on my wind
Rebel and a liberator
Find a way to be a skater
Rev it up to levitate her
Super friendly aviator
Take a look its on display – for you
Coming down no not today
Fly away on my Zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We’ll find a place together
In the water where I center my emotion
All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my Zephyr
We’ll find a place together
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa – do you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa – won’t you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Fly away on my Zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We’ll find a place together
In the water where I center my emotion
All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my Zephyr
We’re gonna live forever…

That old dog has chained you up alright
Give you everything you need
To live inside a twisted cage
Sleep beside an empty rage
I had a dream, I was your hero
Damn, I wish I was your lover
I’ll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smilin’ and warm
I am everything, tonight I’ll be your mother
I will do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won’t feel ashamed, oh, oh
Open up on the inside, gonna fill you up, gonna make you cry
This monkey can’t stand to see you black and blue
Give you somethin’ sweet each time
You come inside my jungle book
What is it just too good?
Don’t say you’ll stay ’cause then you go away
Damn, I wish I was your lover
I’ll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smilin’ and warm
I am everything, tonight I’ll be your mother
I will do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won’t feel ashamed
Shucks, for me there is no other
You’re the only shoe that fits
I can’t imagine I’ll grow out of it
Damn, I wish I was your lover
If I was your girl believe me
I’d turn on the Rollin’ Stones
We could groove along and feel much better
Let me in
I could do it forever and ever and ever and ever
Give me an hour to kiss you
Walk through Heaven’s door I’m sure
We don’t need no doctor to feel much better
Let me in
Forever and ever and ever and ever
I sat on a mountainside with peace of mind
And I lay by the ocean
Makin’ love to her with visions clear
Walked the days with no one near
And I return as chained and bound to you
Damn, I wish I was your lover
I’ll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smilin’ and warm
I am everything, tonight I’ll be your mother
I will do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won’t feel ashamed
Shucks, for me there is no other
You’re the only shoe that fits
I can’t imagine, I’ll grow out of it
Damn, I wish I was your lover
Just open up I’m gonna come inside
I wanna fill you up I wanna make you cry
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Gettin’ on the subway and I’m comin’ uptown
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Standin’ on a street corner waitin’ for my love to change
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Feelin’ like a school boy, too shy and too young
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Open up I wanna come inside, I wanna fill you up, I wanna make you cry
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Gettin’ on my camel and I’ll ride it uptown, ooh
(Damn I wish I was your lover)
Hanging around this jungle, wishing that this
