Van Morrison - Burning Ground Lyrics
And I take you down to the burning groundAnd you change me up and you turned it aroundIn the wind and rain Im gonna see you againIn the morning sun and when the day is doneAnd you take my hand and you walk with meSometimes it feels like eternityAnd I turn the tide I get back my prideAnd I make you proud wont you say it out loudWhen I take you down to the burning groundTo the burning ground, to the burning groundTo the burning ground, to the burning groundAnd I take you down by the factoryAnd I show you like it has to beAnd you understand how the work is doneAnd I pick up the sack in the midday sunAnd I pull you through by the skin of your teethAnd I lift the veil, I see whats underneathAnd you return to me and you sit on your throneAnd you make me feel that Im not aloneAnd I take you down to the burning groundTo the burning ground, to the burning groundTo the burning groundHey man, whats that youre carrying?Feels like leadIt weighs a ton - lets see if we can dump it by the side of the hillHey wait up, why dont you dump it on the burning groundDump it down thereYeh man, dump the juteHey man dump the jute on the burning groundDump the jute?Yeh you know, dump the juteDump the jute!On the burning groundOn the burning groundAnd you make me think what its all aboutSometimes I know gonna work it outAnd I watch you run in the crimson sunTear my shirt apart open up my heartAnd I watch you runDown on your bended kneesBy the burnt out wellCan you tell me pleaseBetween heaven and hellWont you take me downTo the burning ground, to the burning groundTo the burning ground, to the burning groundAnd you fall and pray, when you hear that soundAs were walking back to the burial moundAnd you shake your head and you turn it aroundAnd you see the flames from the burning groundAnd you get down on your knees and prayAnd I catch my breath as were running awayAnd I take the jute and I throw him downOn the burning ground, on the burning groundOn the burning ground, its on the burning ground.....
