Van Morrison - Burning Ground lyrics

rate me

And I take you down to the burning ground

And you change me up and you turned it around

In the wind and rain I'm gonna see you again

In the morning sun and when the day is done

And you take my hand and you walk with me

Sometimes it feels like eternity

And I turn the tide I get back my pride

And I make you proud won't you say it out loud

When I take you down to the burning ground

To the burning groundto the burning ground

To the burning groundto the burning ground

And I take you down by the factory

And I show you like it has to be

And you understand how the work is done

And I pick up the sack in the midday sun

And I pull you through by the skin of your teeth

And I lift the veilI see what's underneath

And you return to me and you sit on your throne

And you make me feel that I'm not alone

And I take you down to the burning ground

To the burning groundto the burning ground

To the burning ground

Hey manwhat's that you're carrying?

Feels like lead

It weighs a ton - let's see if we can dump it by the side of the hill

Hey wait upwhy don't you dump it on the burning ground

Dump it down there

Yeh mandump the jute

Hey man dump the jute on the burning ground

Dump the jute?

Yeh you knowdump the jute

Dump the jute!

On the burning ground

On the burning ground

And you make me think what it's all about

Sometimes I know gonna work it out

And I watch you run in the crimson sun

Tear my shirt apart open up my heart

And I watch you run

Down on your bended knees

By the burnt out well

Can you tell me please

Between heaven and hell

Won't you take me down

To the burning groundto the burning ground

To the burning groundto the burning ground

And you fall and praywhen you hear that sound

As we're walking back to the burial mound

And you shake your head and you turn it around

And you see the flames from the burning ground

And you get down on your knees and pray

And I catch my breath as we're running away

And I take the jute and I throw him down

On the burning groundon the burning ground

On the burning groundit's on the burning ground.....
