Day Of Reckoning (burnin For You) Lyrics - Band

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 

Photos 

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
