The Burning Heart

歌詞

She came down from up near Katherine Moved in across the ridge She was every thing a young man could desire Out there in the ranges In secret we would meet My heart ran as wild as desert fire Like a burnin' sun beating down She sparked a flame on virgin ground If by chance a fire should start No one could tame the burnin' heart Well her father owned the station Where I rode the boundary fences And he made it clear for all the hands to see That a man could easily wind up On the wrong end of his shotgun And his little girl was only seventeen Like a burning sun beating down She sparked a flame on virgin ground And if by chance a fire should start No one could tame the burnin' heart She came on me like the summer Wrapped around me like the wind My defences buckled in the heat Out there on the station The sunsets amber glow As our lips met a fire was released Like a burning sun beating down She sparked a flame on virgin ground If by chance a fire should start No one could tame the burnin' heart Like a burning sun beating down She sparked a flame on virgin ground If by chance a fire should start No one could tame the burnin' heart The burnin' heart
