Burning Lyrics

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]
