Burn Like A Field

Lyrics

You’ll hear it when I come like a little hum then a kettledrum.
I move like a pendulum, to and from extremes.
I’m all in or all out. I’m a full house or a ghost town.
I’m ready throw down, or to fall down on my knees.
And you; you’re the killing sort,
And I’m the kind that dies on a dime.
But I knew, sure as I was born,
That love would take my life every time.

Because I burn like a field, and I rain like a cloud,
But I turn like a wheel, and I came back around.
All this love gets me high, and I die when it’s gone.
And you killed me tonight, but I won’t die for long.

I felt it first you came like a burst of rain then a hurricane.
I thought that we were the same until the day I drowned.
I walk on the fine line of the bright sides and the end times,
I was ready for high tide, but it was going out.
And you; you get by so well.
You just roll along with a smile.
But I knew, sure as I’m myself,
That my soul might be gone for a while.

Because I burn like a field, and I rain like a cloud,
But I turn like a wheel, and I came back around.
All this love gets me high, and I die when it’s gone.
And you killed me tonight, but I won’t die for long.

You’ll hear it when I come like a little hum then a kettledrum.
I move like a pendulum, but only ‘cause I’m smart.
I gave you the best of me but the rest of me was your enemy.
And while we both got friendly, see, I battened down my heart.
And you; you’ll never be that way.
You save what comes later for the end.
But I knew, sure as I was made,
I’d keep meeting the Maker til we’re friends.

I burn like a field, and I rain like a cloud,
But I turn like a wheel, and I came back around.
All this love gets me high, and I die when it’s gone.
And you killed me tonight, but I won’t die for long.
