Band The Day Of Reckoning (burnin For You) Lyrics

Day Of Reckoning (burnin For You) Lyrics

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
