Burning The River lyrics translation: PETE FRANCIS Burning The River song texte and letras PETE FRANCIS Burning The River tab, paroles and testo PETE FRANCIS Burning The River Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
his lips don`t move
but still he speaks
his dark green eyes stare at me
he tells me of his papa
working on the railway
blowing his harmonica
in the morning
i`m checkin` in, checkin` out
feeling loved, filling out
deeper fish, deeper lungs
deeper words for the deeper tongue
he says i`m telling you
i`m burning the river
so i go home
a girl lies in my bed
i hold her hipbone
and pulle her closer
i put her cold hands
between my thighs
stare out the window
into a darkening sky
i`m checkin` in, checkin` out
feeling loved, filling out
deeper fish, deeper lungs
deeper words for the deeper tongue
he says i`m telling you
i`m burning the river
she`s left only
her body for me
i lie here feeling her hair
waiting for sleep
in the early hours of night
i`m checkin` in, checkin` out
feeling loved, filling out
deeper fish, deeper lungs
deeper words for the deeper tongue
