Day Of Reckoning (burnin For You) Lyrics - Robbie Robertson

In this dusty little railroad town 

Smack in the heart of the bible belt 

Where nothing ever changes 

And nothing remains the same 

When first I saw the raven 

Lean against the wind 

I said 

Who's that girl 

With the tattoo on her skin 

I followed her home 

Lives down by the water 

My friend Teddy told me 

She's the Frenchman's daughter On this day of reckoning 

I'm riding shotgun with you 

Yeah you 

Tangled twisted strands of love 

Hanging from above I'm burnin' for you 

Ooh I'm burnin' for you 

Oh we were first time lovers 

In a secret rendezvous 

Burnin' burnin'Burnin'Burnin' for you When I come knocking on her front door 

The neighbour said she don't live there no more 

Well she moved from the country down to the city 

Where the scene is dark and the street are gritty 

In the hustle and bustle and all the commotion 

She got addicted to the locomotion On this day of reckoning 

By the old wooden bridge 

I wait for you 

Tangled twisted strands of love 

Hanging from above I'm burnin' for you 

Ooh I'm burnin' for you 

Oh we were first time lovers 

In a secret rendezvous 

I'm burnin'Burnin'Burnin'Burnin' for you I remember the smell of the burning leaves 

And we were making love 

She was like a young Georgia O'Keefe 

From another time 

In an old abandoned railroad shack 

One should never go 

Where anything can happen 

When the Zephyr blows On this day of reckoning 

I'm calling for you 

Yeah you 

Tangled twisted strands of love 

Hanging from above I'm burnin' for you 

Ooh I'm burnin' for you 

Oh we were first time lovers 

In a secret rendezvous 

I'm burnin'Burnin'Burnin'Burnin' for you The phone rings 

She said I can't tell you where I'm calling from'Cause my papa's on the lam 

For something shady that he's done There hangs a tale of love For the first time 

For the first time
