Lyrics Randy Newman

Randy Newman

Burn On

There's a red moon rising

On the Cuyahoga River

Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There's a red moon rising

On the Cuyahoga River

Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There's an oil barge winding

Down the Cuyahoga River

Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There's an oil barge winding

Down the Cuyahoga River

Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

Cleveland, city of light, city of magic

Cleveland, city of light, you're calling me

Cleveland, even now I can remember

'Cause the Cuyahoga River goes smokin' through my dreams

Burn on, big river, burn on

Burn on, big river, burn on

Now the Lord can make you tumble

Lord can make you turn

The Lord can make you overflow

But the Lord can't make you burn

Burn on, big river, burn on

Burn on, big river, burn on
