Day Of Reckoning (burnin For You) Lyrics

Day Of Reckoning (burnin For You)

In this dusty little railroad town

Smack in the heart of the bible belt

Where nothing ever changes

While nothing remains the same

When
first i saw the raven

Lean against the wind

I said who's the
girl

With the tattoo on her skin

I followed her home

She
lives down by the water

My friend teddy told me

She's the
frenchman's daughter



On this day of reckoning

I'm riding
shotgun with you

Tangled twisted strands of love

Hanging from
above



Chorus:

I'm burnin for you

Burnin for you

We were first time lovers

In a secret rendezvous

Burnin,
burnin

Burnin for you



When i come knocking on her front
door

The neighbour said she don't live there no more



Well
she moved from the country

Down to the city

Where the scene was
dark

And the street was gritty

In the hustle and bustle and all the
commotion

She got addicted to the locomotion



On this day of
reckoning

By the old wooden bridge

I wait for you

Tangled
twisted strands of love

Hanging from above



Chorus



I remember the smell of the burning leaves

And we were making love

She was like a young georgia o'keefe

From another time

In an old
abandoned railroad shack

On should never go

Where anything can
happen

When the zephyr blows



On this day of reckoning

I'm calling to you

Tangled twisted strands of love

Hanging from
above



Chorus



The phone rings she said

I can't
tell you where i'm calling from

Cause my papa's on the lam

For
something shady that he's done



There hangs a tale of love



For the first time

For the first time
