Lyrics Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen

Burnin' Train

Zero's my number

Time is my hunter

I wanted you to heal me

But instead you set me on fire

We were out over the borders

I washed you in holy water

We whispered our black prayers

And rose up in flames

Take me on your burnin' train

Take me on your burnin' train

White sun burnin'

Black wings beatin'

I ran my fingers 'cross the hollow of your stomach

As you lay breathing

With our shared faith

Rising dark and decayed

Take me and shake me from this mortal cage

Take me on your burnin' train

Take me on your burnin' train

Something's shining in the light 'neath your breast

The thick smell of you on my chest

On your bed of thorns

I brought you shining gifts

Wiped the sweat from your brow

And I touched your lips

Sheets stained with sweat

Outside the endless rain

Darlin' I'm blessed in your blood

And marked by Cain

Take me on your burnin' train

Take me on your burnin' train

Take me on your burnin' train
