Burning Songtext / Lyric

Burning



Set out from Saint Joe on no ordinary journey,

Headed down to New Orleans, working in the skin game.

But when I saw you, down by the muddy river,

I had to have you, so I became your prisoner.






It s been and long time and things have gotten crazy,

I never thought that it could turn out this way.

I ve got the notion, I d swim the ocean for your love,

It s not devotion, it s just this burning in my heart.



Chorus:

I m burning, burning, burning with desire,

Burning, captive of your fire.



It won t be easy telling all the folks at home,

They won t believe me and they won t like it at all.

I never thought that I could turn my back on them.

It s just this burning, it s just this burning from within.



Chorus
